Removing discs
To remove CD/DVD/HD DVD’s, follow the steps as listed below.
1. When the computer’s power is on, press the eject button to open the
disc tray slightly and then gently pull it out of the system until it is fully
opened.
Laser lens
When the disc tray is fully opened, the edge of the computer will extend
slightly over the area where you insert the media. Therefore, when loading
a CD, DVD, or HD DVD you will need to turn it slightly at an angle when
you place it in the disc tray. After loading the CD/DVD/HD DVD you should
ensure that it is properly positioned over the central spindle and that it lies
flat within the tray.
■
Do not touch either the laser lens or the area immediately around it -
doing so could cause misalignment and may damage the drive.
■
You should ensure that all foreign objects are prevented from entering
the drive. In doing this you should check the surface of the disc tray,
especially the area behind its front edge, to ensure there is nothing
present before closing the drive.
If the CD/DVD/HD DVD is not seated properly when the disc tray is closed,
you may find that the media itself might become damaged, and/or the disc
tray might not open fully when you next press the eject button.
Do not press the eject button while the computer is accessing the media in
the drive, instead wait for the indicator to go out before you open the disc
tray. In addition, if the CD/DVD media is spinning when you open the tray,
wait for it to fully stop before you remove it.
