CD-ROM drive

Your system comes with a CD-ROM drive. This drive is located on the front panel of your system. The CD-ROM drive allows you to play different types of compact discs (CDs) and video CDs.

CDs, like diskettes, are also compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around. However, they are more delicate than diskettes and must be handled with extra care.

To insert a CD into your system’s CD-ROM drive:

1Gently push the Stop/Eject button located on the front panel.

2When the disc tray slides open, insert the CD. Make sure that the label or title side of the disc is facing upward.

Caution! Hold the disc by the edges to avoid leaving smudges or fingerprints.

3 Push the Stop/Eject button again to close the tray.

To take care of your CDs:

Keep your discs in a disk case when not in use to avoid scratches or other damage. Any kind of dirt or damage can affect the data on the disc, impair the disc lens reader on the CD-ROM drive, or stop the system from successfully reading the disc.

When handling discs, always hold them by the edges to avoid smudges or fingerprints.

When cleaning discs, use a clean, dust-free cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center to the edge. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

Clean your CD-ROM drive periodically. You may refer to a cleaning kit for instructions. Cleaning kits can be purchased in any system or electronics shop.
