Using the optical drive
Manual eject hole—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.
Inserting an optical disc
To insert an optical disc into the drive:
1 Make sure the computer is turned on.
The drive will not open if the computer's power is off.
2 Make sure the drive's in-use indicator light is off.
3 Press the drive's eject button.
The disc tray slides partially out of the drive (about 1 inch).
4 Grasp the tray and pull it fully open.
5 Hold the disc by its edges and check that it is free of dust.
If the disc is dusty, clean it.
6 Place the disc carefully in the disc tray, label side up.
(Sample Illustration) Positioning the disc in the drive
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, turn the volume down. Do
not set the volume too high when using the headphones. Continuous
exposure to loud sound can harm your hearing.
