Removing discs
To remove the disc, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. To pop the disc tray partially open, press the eject button. Gently pull
the disc tray out until it is fully opened.
2. The disc extends slightly over the sides of the disc tray so you can
grasp it. Gently lift out the disc.
■Do not touch the laser lens or any portion of its surrounding casing as
this could cause misalignment.
■Prevent foreign objects from entering the drive. Check the surface of
the disc tray, especially the area behind the front edge of the disc tray,
to make sure there are no such objects before closing the drive.
If the disc is not seated properly when the disc tray is closed, the disc
might be damaged. Also, the disc tray might not open fully when you press
the eject button.
Do not press the eject button while the computer is accessing the media
drive. Wait for the optical disc drive indicator to go out before you open the
disc tray. Also, if the disc is spinning when you open the disc tray, wait for it
to stop before you remove it.
When the disc tray pops open slightly, wait a moment to make sure the
disc has stopped spinning before pulling the disc tray fully open.
