Using the optical drive

Inserting an optical disc (slot-type drive)

(Available on certain models)

To insert an optical disc into the drive:

1

Hold the disc by its edges and check that it is clean and free of
dust.

Handle DVDs and CDs carefully, making contact only with the center
hole and edge. Do not touch the surface of the disc. Do not stack
discs. If you incorrectly handle the discs, you could lose data.

If the disc is dusty, clean it as described in

“Caring for optical

discs” on page 115

.

2

With the label facing up, carefully place the disc partially into
the slot until the disc stops or the drive starts pulling the disc in.

(Sample Illustration) Positioning the disc in the drive

Use only standard (12 cm) CD or DVD Discs. Any other size or shape
disc cannot be removed from this slot and may damage the system.
