Using the optical disc drive
Recording optical media
Depending on the configuration, your computer may come
with an optical disc drive that allows you to:
❖Play pre-recorded and recorded optical media.
❖Read/write data and multi-media files to recordable
optical media.
For more information regarding supported optical media
formats please refer to your computer’s detailed
specifications at support.toshiba.com.
Due to manufacturing and quality variations in third party
optical media (e.g., CD or DVD) or optical media
players/recorders, in certain cases, your Toshiba optical
disc drive may not record on certain optical media that
bear the applicable logo, or play back optical media
recorded by other computers or optical media recorders.
Additionally, certain optical media recorded on your
optical disc drive may not play back or operate properly
on other computers or optical media players. These
problems are not due to any defect in your Toshiba
computer or optical disc drive. Please refer to your
computer's product specification for listing of specific
format compatibilities.
Copy protection technology may also prevent or limit
recording or viewing of certain optical media.
For details on how to use the software, please refer to the
respective Online Help menus.
Removing a disc with the computer on
To remove an optical disc with the computer turned on:
1Press the eject button on the drive.
Do not press the eject button while the drive in-use
indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage the
disc or the drive.
Also, if the disc is still spinning when you open the disc
tray, wait for it to stop spinning before you remove it.
2Pull the tray out until it is fully open, remove the disc, and
place it in its protective cover.
