Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive

For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play
DVDs while running the computer on AC power.

You use CD-ROMs to load and run software, and to access

reference material such as catalogs, as well as listen to music.

Drive components and control buttons

The DVD-ROM or multi-function drive resides on the right

side of the computer. The CD/DVD control buttons are

located at the top of the keyboard and can be accessed when

the display panel is open.

Sample DVD-ROM or multi-function drive

Drive in-use indicator light—Indicates when the drive is in

use.
Eject button—Press to release the disc tray.

Never press the eject button or turn off the computer while the drive-
in-use indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or
the drive.

Manual eject hole—Use if you need to release the disc tray

when the power is off. Use a straightened paper clip or other

narrow object to press the manual eject button located inside

the hole.

Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it. Instead, use a slim
object such as a straightened paper clip.

Inserting a disc

Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn the
volume dial down, and do not set the volume too high when using
the headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can harm your
hearing.
