Optical drive components
The optical drive is located on the side of the computer. The Media
control buttons are located above the keyboard and can be accessed
when the display panel is open.
Depending on the type of drive on your computer, the procedure to
insert and remove optical discs may differ.
❖ If your computer includes a slot style optical drive (available
on certain models), see "Inserting an optical disc (slot-type
drive)" on page 44 for more information.
❖ If your computer includes a standard tray style optical drive
(available on certain models), see "Inserting an optical disc
(tray-type drive)" on page 45 for more information.
Your optical drive may look like this:
Drive in-use indicator light
Eject button
Manual eject hole (tray-type drive only)
(Sample Illustration) Optical drive
Drive in-use indicator light—Indicates when the drive is in use.
Eject button—Press to release the disc tray.
Manual eject hole (tray-type drive only)—Use if you need to
release the disc tray when the power is off. Use a straightened paper
clip or other narrow object to press the manual eject button located
inside the hole.
For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play
DVDs while running the computer on AC power.
When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software that came
with your computer.
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.
