NOTE
z
To remove a disc when the computer is powered off, insert a pointed object (e.g., the
bent-out tip of a paper clip, or the tip of a ballpoint pen) into the emergency hole.
Pushing it completely to the end will free the tray so that it can be pulled out. (The
position of the emergency hole differs depending on the drive.)
z
If the vibration of the CD/DVD drive is excessive, check to see if the disc is inserted
correctly, and check that the disc is in good condition. If the disc is good and inserted
correctly, set [CD/DVD Drive Speed] to [Low] in [Main] menu of the Setup Utility.
z
For AutoPlay CDs:
• If an AutoPlay CD does not start after the computer resumes from the standby or
hibernation modes, remove the disc from the drive, then reinsert the disc again after
a 15 second wait.
• An AutoPlay CD may start during file access, depending on the status of the disc.
z
When playing back movies from a disc, note that smooth playback may not be
possible in some cases.
Power-saving Mode
If the CD/DVD drive has not been accessed within 90 seconds, the drive motor will
automatically shut down to reduce the power consumption. When the CD/DVD drive is
accessed once again, the power of the drive motor is turned on. However, approximately 30
seconds are required until data is actually read from the disc.
