DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW Drive
To remove a disc when the disc cover cannot be opened or when the computer is
powered off:
Insert a pointed object (e.g., the bent-out tip of a paper clip, or the tip of a ballpoint pen)
into the emergency hole (A), and then move in the direction of the arrow.
The disc cover can be opened up to an angle of 70 degrees. Do not force the cover open
any further.
If a hand etc. touches the disc cover and accidentally opens wider than 70 degrees, pull it
forward slowly until the stopper holds the cover in its proper position.
Do not leave the disc cover in the open position or touch the lens.
Under some conditions, dust may build up on the lens, or on a disc. This may result in a
read or write malfunction.
Be careful not to do any of the following items when the disc cover is open.
• Do not close the display.
Be sure to close the display only after confirming the disc cover is closed. If the disc
cover is not closed, the LCD may become damaged.
• Never insert foreign objects such as paper clips into the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive.
Doing so could cause it to malfunction.
Insert the disc securely.
If the disc cover is closed without securely inserting the disc, the disc may be damaged.
About recognition of media
It may take about 30 - 40 seconds for an image recorded to a rewritable media to be
played back.
While the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive is being accessed
Do not open the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive or move the computer while the DVD-ROM
& CD-R/RW drive is being accessed.
Doing so could cause the disc to shift position and this may damage the disc, or cause the
DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive to malfunction.
In addition, after running an application involving access to a disc, do not open the DVD-
ROM & CD-R/RW drive until after the application has been closed.
Do not apply excessive force on the disc cover.
<Only for CF-Y2 series>
Do not operate the drive power/open switch.
