Toshiba XM-6702B User Manual page 7

Do not place objects on the disc tray.
Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc.
Do not press the Open/Close button while the computer is accessing the disc.
NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a CD has printing on only half of
the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the CD, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high
speed, causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-
speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive.

Inserting more than 50mm may damage the CD-ROM drive.

Cleaning CD Disc
Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and smears will degrade the disc
accessing speed.
If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth. Avoid cleaning in a circular motion, but rather
from the inner side outward.
Cleaning the Drive
Toshiba does not recommend cleaning the drive.
