Using optical disc drives

The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROM-
based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15")
CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for
CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a
CD/DVD-ROM, an indicator on the drive glows.

If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer also to the

Writing CD/DVDs on

DVD Super Multi drives

section for precautions on writing to CDs/DVDs.

Loading discs

1. When the computer’s power is on, press the eject button to open the

disc tray slightly.

2. Grasp the disc tray gently and pull until it is fully opened.
