NOTE:
1. The Compact Disc (CD) and
Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)
are the most common way to
store information, and the
DVDs hold more data than the
CDs. However, in this manual
they are both referred as CDs
for the sake of convenience.
2. A DVD-ROM drive could read
both DVDs and CDs; while a
CD-ROM drive could only read
CDs.
3. If your notebook is equipped
with CD-RW drive (optional),
you could create your own
CDs by two types of media:
CD-R and CD-RW disks. A
CD-R media could be written
once only; a CD-RW is
reusable because it could be
erased and rewritten for
numerous times. CD-R media
could be played on most of the
newer CD players, CD-ROM
and DVD-ROM drives.
NOTE: DO NOT disconnect the
CD/DVD/CD-RW drive when the
notebook power is ON, this may
cause the notebook to
malfunction.
CAUTION:
1. When inserting a CD, do not
push the CD- ROM drive
harshly.
2. Make sure the CD is correctly
inserted into the tray, then
close the tray.
3. Do not leave the CD tray open.
Moreover, avoid touching the
lens in the tray with your hand.
If the lens becomes dirty, the
CD- ROM may malfunction.

compact disk is an ideal medium for data storage or multimedia
program because of its huge amount of data capacity.
