Inserting a disc

When the computer is in Standby or Hibernate mode, you cannot insert a disc. See

Controlling Power Consumption

for

more information on Standby and Hibernate modes.

Turn on the computer.

Press the Eject button to open the optical disc drive. The tray slides out.

Ejecting the Tray

Avoid using adhesive labels to identify your discs. Adhesive labels may come off while the disc is in use in your

optical disc drive and may cause damage to the unit.

Place an optical disc on the tray with the label side facing up. For DVDs that can played on both sides, the side of
the disc facing up is the side that plays.

Press the disc onto the hub until the disc clicks securely into place.

Inserting an Optical Disc

Make sure to seat the disc firmly over the hub fingers. If you do not seat the disc firmly, you could

damage your optical disc drive, and you may not be able to open the tray.

Push the tray gently to close it.
