Using an Optical Disc Drive

You may use the PCGA-DSM51 CD-RW/DVD Docking Station or the PCGA- DSM5 CD-RW/DVD Docking Station if your computer came with a docking station. Both Sony docking stations have a built-in optical drive. If your computer did not come with a docking station or you chose not to utilize the docking station drive, you may connect an external optical drive (such as PCGA- CRWD2) to the i.LINK port.

Do not use an optional PC Card optical drive while your computer is connected to the docking station.

To insert a disc

When the computer is in Standby or Hibernate mode, you cannot insert a disc because the disc tray will not open. See “Controlling Power Management” for more information.

1Press the Eject button to open the optical drive. The disc tray slides out.

2Place the disc on the tray with the label side facing up. For DVDs that can be played on both sides, the side of the disc facing up is the side that plays.

3Push the disc onto the hub until the disc clicks into place.

If the disc is not secured, it could damage the optical drive and you may not be able to open the tray.
