Operation and Cleaning
If you insert an optical disk cartridge with the printed shutter facing upward by pressing on the rear of cartridge at the left edge, you may hear an audible click but the drive may not become READY. In such a case, press the cartridge further by pressing on the back of the cartridge from the center (somewhere near the notched section of the panel front) until the LED indication lamp goes on. If this happens, the cartridge has been normally inserted.
