4 Using the Notebook PC

A CD drive letter should be present regardless of the presence of a CD disc in the drive. After the CD is

properly inserted, data can be accessed just like with hard disk drives; except that nothing can be

written to or changed on the CD. Using the proper software, a CD-RW drive or DVD+CD-RW drive

can allow CD-RW discs to be used like a hard drive with writing, deleting, and editing capabilities.

Vibration is normal for all high-speed optical drives due to unbalanced CDs or CD print. To decrease

vibration, use the Notebook PC on an even surface and do not place labels on the CD.

Listening to Audio CD

The optical drives can play audio CDs, but only the DVD-ROM drive can play DVD audio. Insert the

audio CD and Windows™ automatically opens an audio player and begins playing. Depending on the

DVD audio disc and installed software, it may require that you open a DVD player to listen to DVD

audio. You can adjust the volume using hotkeys or Windows™ speaker icon on the taskbar.

Using the Optical Drive

Optical discs and equipment must be handled with care because of the precise mechanics involved.

Keep in mind the important safety instructions from your CD suppliers. Unlike desktop optical drives,

the Notebook PC uses a hub to hold the CD in place regardless of the angle. When inserting a CD, it is

important that the CD be pressed onto the center hub or else the optical drive tray will scratch the CD.

WARNING! If the CD disc is not properly locked onto the center hub, the CD can be

damaged when the tray is closed. Always watch the CD closely while closing the tray

slowly to prevent damage.

Removing an optical disc

1. While the Notebook PC’s power is ON, press

the drive’s eject button and the tray will eject

out partially.

2. Gently pry the edge of the disc upwards at an

angle to remove the disc from the hub.
