Usage Precautions
Do not place items other than discs on the tray.
Do not leave the tray in the open position or touch the lens area. Should the lens
become soiled by dust or dirt, the unit may not read discs properly.
Under some conditions, dust may build up on the optical lens or disc, possibly resulting in
malfunction.
Do not apply excessive force to the tray in the open position, doing so could damage the
tray.
Do not open the drive or move the computer while the drive is being accessed. Doing so
could cause it to malfunction. In addition, after running an application involving access to
a disc, do not open the drive or remove the disc until after the application has been closed.
After closing the tray, do not attempt to access a disc until the MP indicator ( ) disappears.
Do not expose the drive to oily or tobacco smoke. Doing so could shorten the service life
of the lens.
If the drive malfunctions, we recommend cleaning the lens with a blower used for camera
lenses. (Do not use strong, cleaning sprays.)
Never insert foreign objects such as paper clips into the drive.
Do not use discs that have become deformed (warped, not completely round, etc.).
When the drive is installed, do not use an external drive (CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM
drive, etc.).
For AutoPlay CDs:
• If an AutoPlay CD does not start after the computer resumes from the standby or hibernation mode, we recommend reinserting the CD again after a 15-second wait.
• An AutoPlay CD may start during the access of a file.
To avoid damaging discs:
Do not touch the surface as it can cause the disc to become dirty or scratched.
Do not allow discs to become dirty or scratched.
Do not place or store discs in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or dust.
Do not write on the surface of the disc with a ball-point pen or other writing instrument.
If the disc is brought from a cold into a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc.
Wipe this moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.
Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of discs.
Cleaning the disc using a CD cleaner is recommended once every 2 or 3 months.
If the disc gets dirty
After wiping the disc with a moist, soft cloth, wipe it with a dry cloth. Always wipe from
the center toward the edge.

Power-saving Mode
If the drive has not been accessed within 30 seconds, the drive motor will automatically shut
down to reduce the power consumption. When the drive is accessed once again, the power
of the drive motor is turned on. However, approximately 30 seconds are required until data
is actually read from the disc.

When writing to CD-R/RW discs
When using CD-R or CD-RW discs, read the descriptions on the disc packages.
CD-RW discs cannot be read with other drives* unable to accommodate CD-RW discs.
* Consult with the manufacturer of each drive.
Using the CD-ROM of the CD-R/RW writer software (included), install the application
software on your computer. For information on how to install the software, refer to the
included manual of the CD-R/RW writer software.
Be sure to use discs conforming to the proper write speeds. ( page 11)
If the write operation is to involve a long period of time, be sure to connect the AC
adaptor. If the battery power runs low and the power of the computer is cut, the write
operation may end in failure.
Depending on the disc, the quality of the write operation may not be so good. We recommend using any of the following discs.
Recommended Discs:
<CD-R>
HITACHI MAXELL, Ltd.
MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL Co., Ltd.
MITSUI CHEMICALS, Inc.
RICOH Co., Ltd.

Check the settings by following the instructions
in “Preparations” ( page 6).
Is the drive properly mounted in the multimedia pocket?
Is the disc loaded on the tray correctly?
Is the disc bent, scratched, or dirty?
Is the computer powered on?
To remove a disc when the
computer is powered off, insert a pointed object such as
the bent-out tip of a paper clip
into the emergency hole.
Pushing it completely to the
end will free the tray so that it
can be pulled out.
Did you open the drive or remove the disc while it
was operating?
Re-insert the disc and close the drive. Press
Enter .
Did you touch the eject button when you close the tray?
Is an external drive (CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM
drive, etc.) connected?
When the drive is installed, do not use an external
drive (CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM drive, etc.).
Was the computer turned off before the instal-
lation/removal of the drive?
The computer needs to be off so that the drive
can properly initialize during Windows startup.
When the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive is
replaced after the CD-R/RW drive has been installed in the Multimedia Pocket, files inside the
drive sometimes cannot be accessed.
In this case, execute [Scan for hardware changes]
using the following procedure.
1 Select [Device Manager] in [start] - [Control
Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Sys-
tem] - [Hardware] .
2 Select the drive displayed under [DVD/CD-
ROM drives] (e.g., MATSHITA****), then se-
lect [Action] - [Uninstall] from the menu and
select [OK].
3 Select [Action] - [Scan for hardware changes]
from the menu. (Microsoft Corp. has reported
that the above noted problem occurs.)
