Optical Drive*
The drives described below are commonly used on NEC System. However, this does not mean
that they are present on the computer you have purchased, nor that your computer is limited
to these drives.
If your computer is equipped with a CD or a CD-writer drive, then you will only be able to play
CD-type discs. Some discs vibrate when playing. This does not affect the optical disc drive.
Precautions
To avoid malfunctions or damage to your optical drive, please observe the following tips:
•
Insert the disc into the drive before you start a program.
•
Do not eject the disc without first closing the program that is using the disc. This could
potentially cause your computer to stop responding.
If the tray does not eject, you may try to open it manually:
1. Switch your computer off.
2. Carefully insert a straightened paper clip into the emergency eject port (not available
on all drives). Do not use a pencil as the lead may break inside the eject port and
damage the drive.
•
Periodically clean the disc to remove any dust or fingerprints. Use a soft, scratch-free cloth
or a commercial disc cleaner. (For a commercial disc cleaner, make sure you check with
the sales representative before you purchase it to confirm its suitability for your disc).
•
To keep the disc free of fingerprints, hold the disc with your fingers on the outer edge or
with a finger in the inner circle and a finger on the outer edge.
•
Always return the disc to its protective case or sleeve when you have finished using it.
•
Keep the disc tray closed whenever you are not using the drive.
