Inserting a compact disc

To insert a compact disc into the drive:
1 Make sure the computer is turned on.
2 Make sure the drive's in-use indicator light is off.
For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play
DVDs while running the computer on AC power.
Do not press the eject button or turn off the computer while the drive
in-use indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or
the drive.
When the disc tray is open, be careful not to touch the lens or the
area around it. Doing so could cause the drive to malfunction.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn the
volume dial down. Do not set the volume too high when using the
headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can harm your
hearing.
