Optical Drive – slot type

Using the Optical Drive

A CD drive letter should be present regardless of the presence of a CD disc in the drive. After the CD is

properly inserted, data can be accessed just like with hard disk drives; except that nothing can be written

to or changed on the CD. Using the proper software, a CD-RW drive or DVD+CD-RW drive can allow

CD-RW discs to be used like a hard drive with writing, deleting, and editing capabilities.
Vibration is normal for all high-speed optical drives due to unbalanced CDs or CD print. To decrease

vibration, use the Notebook PC on an even surface and do not place labels on the CD.

Listening to Audio CD

The optical drives can play audio CDs, but only the DVD-ROM drive can play DVD audio. Insert the

audio CD and Windows™ automatically opens an audio player and begins playing. Depending on the

DVD audio disc and installed software, it may require that you open a DVD player to listen to DVD

audio. You can adjust the volume using hotkeys or Windows™ speaker icon on the taskbar.

WARNING! The slot optical disc drive only supports a 1cm disc. The slot optical disc

drive does not support a 8cm disc. Inserting a 8cm disc may damage the slot drive.
