Using an Optical Disc Drive
You may use the PCGA-DSM51 CD-RW/DVD Docking Station or the PCGA-
DSM5 CD-RW/DVD Docking Station if your computer came with a docking
station. Both Sony docking stations have a built-in optical drive. If your
computer did not come with a docking station or you chose not to utilize the
docking station drive, you may connect an external optical drive (such as PCGA-
CRWD2) to the i.LINK port.
To insert a disc
When the computer is in Standby or Hibernate mode, you cannot insert a disc
because the disc tray will not open. See “Controlling Power Management” for
more information.
1 Press the Eject button to open the optical drive. The disc tray slides out.
2 Place the disc on the tray with the label side facing up. For DVDs that can be
played on both sides, the side of the disc facing up is the side that plays.
3 Push the disc onto the hub until the disc clicks into place.
Do not use an optional PC Card optical drive while your computer is connected
to the docking station.
Ejecting the tray
If the disc is not secured, it could damage the optical drive and you may not be
able to open the tray.
