After inserting your CD, wait a few seconds for it to be detected before trying to access it.

Make sure you place the disc in the tray with the label side facing up.

Make sure the software is installed according to the program’s instructions.

If your drive reads some CDs, but not others, check the shiny side of the disc for dirt or scratches. You may also need to clean the disc drive lens with an appropriate cleaner.

Topic: I cannot play a DVD-ROM.

If a region code warning appears when you are using the DVD player, it

could be that the DVD-ROM you are trying to play is incompatible with the DVD-ROM drive in your VAIO Digital StudioComputer. The region code is listed on the disc’s packaging. Region code indicators such as “1” or “ALL” are labeled on some DVDs to indicate what type of player can play the disc. Unless a “1” or “ALL” appears on the DVD or on the packaging, you cannot play the disc on this computer.
