Inserting a disc

1 If the computer is turned on, press the eject button on the DVD-ROM
or multi-function drive.
Pressing the eject button
The disc tray partially opens.
2 Grasp the disc tray and pull it fully open.
3 Hold the disc by its edges and check that it is clean and free of dust.
4 Carefully place the disc in the empty tray with its label facing up.
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.
Before playing an audio CD or a DVD, turn down the volume. Playing the
disc at maximum volume could damage your ears. To turn down the volume,
use the volume control dial or access the Volume Control program (click
Start, All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, Volume
Control).
To avoid damaging a disc or losing data, check that the disk/disc activity
light is off before opening the disc tray.
Handle discs carefully. Avoid touching the surface of the disc. Grasp it by its
center hole and edge. If you handle the disc incorrectly, you could lose data.
