4. Close the tray by lightly pressing the front edge of the tray.
NOTE: High-speed CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives spin the disc at a very high rotational
speed and may be noisy. If a disc has printing on only half of the disc, or if the disc is
slightly imbalanced, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed and the
noise is louder. This effect is inherent in the high-speed technology and does not indi-
cate a problem with the drive.
