Using The Cd-Rw Drive - Sharp PC-AR10 Manual

Using the CD-RW Drive

If the CD-RW drive is installed in the unit bay, use it as follows.
1. Locate and identify the three features on the front of the CD-RW drive; the eject
tray button, the recessed mechanical eject button, and the drive activity
indicator.
2. Press the eject tray button to eject the tray for the CDs.
3. Place the CD on the tray so that the central hole in the CD fits over the spindle
in the disk tray. Don't apply excess downward force on the disk tray.
4. Press the tray back into the CD-RW drive until it clicks closed.
5. To remove a CD, wait until the activity indicator shows that the disk in the drive
is not being read. Press the eject tray button and remove the disk from the tray.
If you need to remove a CD from the drive while the computer is
turned off, or while the drive module is removed from the computer,
insert the end of a paper clip, or similar utensil, into the manual tray
eject button. This unlocks the try and lets you pull the tray all the way
open to remove the CD.
Handling CDs
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side. Data is
read from the non-label side. Do not mark this surface.
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat and excessive moisture.
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt or water on the CDs can
cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it
with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
