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 DVD-ROM drive or move the computer while the DVD-ROM 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 DVD-ROM 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 DVD-ROM Drive Pack to oily or tobacco smoke. Doing so could
shorten the service life of the lens.
If the DVD-ROM 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 DVD-ROM Drive Pack.
Do not use discs that have become deformed (warped, not completely round, etc.).
The playback of CDs containing moving pictures (Video CDs, CDs including MPEG
data, etc.) may not be smooth.
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.

E

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.
