Playing a CD or DVD

If your computer comes with a DVD drive, you can listen to audio CDs or watch DVD movies. To play a
CD or DVD, do the following:
1. Press the Eject/Load button on the DVD drive to open the tray.
2. With the tray fully extended, insert the CD or DVD into the tray. Some DVD drives have a snap hub in the
center of the tray. If your drive has a snap hub, support the tray with one hand and then push on the
center of the CD or DVD until it snaps into place.
3. Press the Eject/Load button again or gently push the tray forward to close the tray. The CD or DVD
player program starts automatically. For additional information, refer to the CD or DVD player program
help system.
To remove a CD or DVD from the DVD drive, do the following:
1. With the computer on, press the Eject/Load button. When the tray slides out automatically, carefully
remove the disc.
2. Close the tray by pressing the Eject/Load button or by gently pushing the tray forward.
Note: If the tray does not slide out of the drive when you press the Eject/Load button, insert a straightened
paper clip into the emergency-eject hole located on the front of the DVD drive. Be sure the drive is powered
off when using the emergency eject. Use the Eject/Load button instead of the emergency eject except
in an emergency.
