Caring for CDs and DVDs
❖ Store your discs in their original containers to protect
them from scratches and keep them clean.
❖ Never bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.
❖ Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the
surface of a disc can prevent the drive from reading the
data properly.
❖ Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or
cold.
❖ To clean a disc, wipe it from the center outwards (not in a
circle) with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, moisten the
cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or
rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before
inserting it in the drive.
Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive
Your computer may come with a DVD-ROM or
multi-function drive that allows you to:
❖ Play prerecorded DVDs
(DVD-ROM or multi-function drive)
❖ Play prerecorded CDs

Recordable (CD-R) or CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) disc.
CAUTION: Check the disk/disc activity light when you use the
DVD-ROM or multi-function drive. Do not press the eject button,
disconnect a drive or turn off the computer while the light is
flashing. Doing so could damage the CD, DVD or drive.
