Disc Care

¾ To clean the disc, use a soft cloth and wipe from the inside to the outside edge

rather than in a circular motion.

¾ Do not use record-cleaning or anti-static agents as the solutions may damage a

disc.

¾ Always store discs in proper storage cases when not in use.
¾ Check for dirt, dust, or fingerprints on a disc’s recording side before inserting

into the unit.

¾ Avoid touching or scratching the recording side of the disc.
¾ Hold the disc only by the edges or by the center hole and one edge.
¾ Do not affix stickers, labels, or tape to the disc.
¾ Discard warped or cracked discs as they may cause damage to the drive.
¾ Avoid unusually shaped discs such as “business card” CDs.

13

Troubleshooting & Technical Support

Nothing happens when eject button is pressed:

¾ Make sure the power cable is securely connected to the drive.
¾ Verify the computer is powered-up and running.

Drive is very loud when reading/writing:

¾ Make sure the drive is securely mounted to the computer’s chassis. Excessive

vibration can be caused by loose or uneven mounting.
