Loading a Compact Disc
To load a compact disc into the drive, do the following:
1. Press the Load/Unload button to open the tray. The tray slides out of the drive.
2. Place the compact disc in the tray with the label facing up.
3. Press the Load/Unload button, or gently push in the tray, to close the tray.
Note: Be sure that none of the vertical retaining tabs are extended when you use
the drive in the horizontal position.
Opening the Tray Manually
The compact disc tray automatically opens when you press the Load/Unload button. If it
does not automatically open, follow these steps to force it open manually:
1. Shut down and turn off the power to your system.
2. Insert the straightened end of a paper clip into the emergency eject hole until you
feel some resistance. If you are not sure where the emergency eject hole is located,
see “Front View of CD-ROM Drive” on page 21.
3. Continue to push in the paper clip while you pull out the tray with your fingernail.
4. Pull the tray completely open and remove the disc. It is normal for the tray to make
a clicking sound while you are pulling it open.
Playing an Audio CD
To play an audio CD, you must have headphones connected to the headphone jack
located on the front of the drive, or connected to the line-out connector located on the
back of the system. You must also have an audio software application installed.
The headphone jack provides the connection for headphones using a 3.5-mm (1/8")
stereo mini-plug. The volume control adjusts the audio output level for the headphones.
