Using CD/DVD

‹Before using the drive

zDo not expose the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive to excessive smoke that may leave a residue, e.g. oil smoke, or tobacco smoke. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive lens.

‹About opening or closing the disk cover/cleaning the drive lens

zWhen the computer is on, be sure to use the drive power/open switch on the front right of the computer or perform the ejecting operation through Windows.

When using B’s Recorder or B’s CLiP, you cannot open the cover using the drive power/open switch. Refer to “Writing to CDs (B’s Recorder/B’s CLiP)” in onscreen Reference Manual.

zTo remove a disk when the disk 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 move in the direction of the arrow.

zBe careful not to do any of the following when the disk cover is open:

•Do not close the display.

Be sure to close the display only after confirming the disk cover is closed. If the disk cover is open, the LCD may become damaged.

•Never insert foreign objects such as paper clips into the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive.

This could cause it to malfunction.

zThe disk cover can be opened up to an angle of 80 degrees. Do not force the cover open any further.

If a hand or other object touches the disk cover and accidentally opens it wider than 80 degrees, pull it forward slowly until the stopper holds the cover in its proper posi- tion.

zDo not leave the disk cover in the open position or touch the lens.

Over time, dust may build up on the lens, or on a disk. This may result in a read or write malfunction.

zInsert the disk securely. If the disk cover is closed without inserting the disk securely, it may become damaged.

zDo not access the drive until after the disk cover is closed and the DVD-ROM & CD- R/RW drive indicator is off.

zWe recommend cleaning the drive lens (B) with an air puffer used for camera lenses (Do not use any spray lens cleaning products.)

‹Internal DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive connection inter- face

zThe internal DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive uses a USB connection. When removing PC Cards, SD memory cards, or other USB devices, the internal DVD-ROM & CD- R/RW drive is displayed as one of the [USB Mass Storage Device]. The internal DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive cannot be removed, so do not select [Stop].

‹While the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive is being accessed

zDo 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 disk to shift position, which may damage the disk, or cause the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive to malfunction.

After running an application involving access to a disk, do not open the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive until after the application has been closed.

zDo not apply excessive force on the disk cover.

zDo not operate the drive power/open switch.

zDo not shock the computer by removing or inserting cables and cards, etc. This may result in a read or write malfunction.

‹About recognition of media

zIt may take about 30 - 40 seconds for an image recorded to a rewritable media to be played back.
