•When placing a disc in the drive tray, make sure that it is secure on the spindle of the drive tray.

•Make sure that the disc is free from scratches or smudges. If the disc is dirty, clean it using a disc cleaning kit.

•If the disc is OK, the drive head might be dirty. Clean it using a drive head cleaning kit.
