Handling and storing CD and DVD media

CD and DVD media are durable and reliable, but they do require some care and special handling. When handling and storing a CD or DVD, follow these guidelines:

•Hold the disc by its edges. Do not touch the surface of the side that is not labeled.

•To remove dust or fingerprints, wipe the disc with a clean, soft cloth from the center to the outside. Wiping the disc in a circular direction might cause loss of data.

•Do not write or stick paper on the disc.

•Do not scratch or mark the disc.

•Do not place or store the disc in direct sunlight.

•Do not use benzene, thinners, or other cleaners to clean the disc.

•Do not drop or bend the disc.

•Do not insert damaged discs into the drive. Warped, scratched, or dirty discs can damage the drive.

Playing a CD or DVD

1.Press the Eject/Load button on the DVD drive to open the tray.

2.With the tray fully extended, insert the CD or DVD into the tray. Some DVD drives have a snap hub in the center of the tray. If your drive has a snap hub, support the tray with one hand and then push on the center of the CD or DVD until it snaps into place.

3.Press the Eject/Load button again or gently push the tray forward to close the tray. The CD or DVD player program starts automatically. For additional information, refer to the CD or DVD player program help system.

To remove a CD or DVD from the DVD drive, do the following:

1.With the computer on, press the Eject/Load button. When the tray slides out automatically, carefully remove the disc.

2.Close the tray by pressing the Eject/Load button or by gently pushing the tray forward.

Note: If the tray does not slide out of the drive when you press the Eject/Load button, insert a straightened paper clip into the emergency-eject hole located on the front of the DVD drive. Be sure the drive is powered off when using the emergency eject. Use the Eject/Load button instead of the emergency eject except

in an emergency.
