Handling Precautions

Do Not Look Into the Drive

Looking directly at the internal laser light source may result in damage to eyesight.

Do Not Use Discs That Are Cracked or Deformed

Because the discs rotate at high speeds, damaged discs may break apart causing injury.

Discs that are not round and discs that have been repaired using adhesives are similarly

dangerous, and so should not be used.

Drive Handling Care

Do not expose the drive to excessive smoke that may leave a residue, e.g., oil smoke, or

tobacco smoke. Doing so can shorten the life of the drive lens.

We recommend cleaning the drive lens with an air puffer used for camera lenses.

(Do not use any spray-type of lens cleaning products.)

When opening/closing the tray

When the computer is on, use the eject button ( page 8) or eject through Windows. When inserting or removing a disc, be careful not to touch the lens and other parts of the

laser pickup.

Do not leave the tray open and do not touch the lens and other parts of the laser pickup.

The laser pickup and disc can become dusty in some conditions. It may cause malfunc-

tion in reading or writing. Do not apply excessive force to the tray in the open position. Never insert a foreign object such as a paper clip into the drive.

Doing so may cause malfunction.

Do not place items other than discs on the tray.

While the drive is being accessed

Do not open the tray or move the computer while the drive is being accessed.

Doing so could cause the disc to shift position and this may damage the disc, or cause

the drive to malfunction.

In addition, after running an application involving access to a disc, close the application

before opening the tray or removing the disc.

Disc Handling Care

Before using a disc, carefully read the operating/handling instructions and package of

the disc. If the discs are not handled appropriately, they may become dirty or scratched. Further-

more the writing speed may get slower and the data may not be correctly written on or

read from the disc. Other damage may cause a drive failure. Note the following precautions.

• Do not touch the disc surface (the side with no printing).

• Keep the disc surface clean and free from dirt, dust, ﬁ ngerprints and scratches.

• Do not write on the surface of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other writing instrument.

• Do not attach stickers to discs.

• Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of discs.

•

Do not place or store discs in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or dust.

• If a disc is brought from a cold to a warm location, condensation may form on the disc. For read-only discs, wipe off the condensation using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc. For recordable/rewritable discs, wait until the condensation dries.

•When not using discs, keep them in their protective cases or cartridges.

To clean discs

<For read-only discs> Wipe discs with a dry, soft cloth from the center toward the edge. If discs get very dirty, wipe with a moist, soft cloth from the center toward the edge, then wipe again with a dry cloth to take up remaining moisture. <For recordable/rewritable discs> Use the recordable/rewritable disc cleaner to clean these discs. Do not use a cloth, CD cleaners or any other such cleaners under any circumstances.

How to hold a disc

Power-saving Mode

If the drive is not accessed for 30 seconds, the drive motor will automatically be shut down to reduce the power consumption. When the drive is accessed again, the drive motor is turned on. In this case, reading of the disc data will take approximately 30 seconds.

Using the Drive

Information

To play DVD-Video or MPEG2 files, install the DVD playback software using “DVD Drive Utility Disc” (included). For information on how to install the software, refer to page 19.

Region Code Setting

DVD-Videos are allocated to region codes according to where they are sold. To play a DVD-Video, the player’s software and the drive must have the corresponding region code. e.g., For U.S.A. and Canada: “1” For Europe: “2”

The region code of the drive is not set at purchase. The operation depends on the DVD-

Video that is ﬁ rst played.

• DVD-Video with a speciﬁ c region code:

The drive will automatically be set at the same region code as the DVD-Video.

• DVD-Video with multiple region codes:

[Conﬁ rm Region] appears. Select the region code and click [OK]. Play now begins.

CAUTION

You can change the region code setting up to ﬁ ve times including the initial setting.

Be extremely careful because you cannot change the region code anymore after the ﬁ fth change, even if you reinstalled the operating system.

Any problem resulting from illegal changing or altering of the region code is the

user’s responsibility.

NOTE

[Conﬁ rm Region] appears when the DVD-Video has only one region code and the

drive is set for another region code.

([Conﬁ rm Region] may not appear with some DVD-Video discs. To check the cur-

rent region code and the number of remaining times of changing the code, rightclick on the [WinDVD] screen and click [Setup] - [Region].)

Vorsichtsmaßnahmen zum Gebrauch

Nicht in das Laufwerk blicken

Der direkte Blick in die interne Laser-Lichtquelle kann zu Augenschäden führen.

Keine CDs mit Rissen oder Verformungen verwenden

Auf Grund der hohen Rotationsgeschwindigkeit können beschädigte CDs auseinander brechen und Verletzungen verursachen.

CDs, die keine runde Form aufweisen oder mit Klebstoffen repariert wurden, sind ähn-

lich gefährlich und sollten daher nicht verwendet werden.

Sorgfältiger Umgang mit dem Laufwerk

Das Laufwerk darf keinem übermäßigen Rauch (z. B. durch Verbrennung von Fetten

oder Tabak) ausgesetzt werden, der zu Ablagerungen führen kann. Anderenfalls könnte die Lebensdauer der Laufwerkslinse verkürzt werden.

Wir empfehlen die Reinigung der Laufwerkslinse mit einem Blasebalg, der auch zum

Reinigen von Kameraobjektiven verwendet wird.

(Verwenden Sie zum Reinigen der Linse keine Reinigungssprays.)

Öffnen und Schließen des Fachs

Wenn der Computer eingeschaltet ist, verwenden Sie die Auswurftaste ( Seite 29),

oder öffnen Sie das Disc-Fach über Windows.

Achten Sie beim Einlegen oder Entfernen einer Disc darauf, dass Sie die Linse und an-

dere Teile der Lasereinheit nicht berühren.

Lassen Sie das Disc-Fach nicht offen, und berühren Sie die Linse und andere Teile der

Lasereinheit nicht.

Unter bestimmten Bedingungen kann sich Staub auf der Lasereinheit und der Disc ab-

setzen. Daraus können Lese- oder Schreibfehler resultieren.

Achten Sie darauf, das geöffnete Fach nicht zu stark zu belasten. Führen Sie in das Laufwerk keine Fremdkörper wie z. B. Büroklammern ein.

Anderenfalls können Funktionsstörungen auftreten.

Legen Sie ausschließlich Discs in das Fach ein.

Während auf das Laufwerk zugegriffen wird

Während auf das Laufwerk zugegriffen wird, darf das Disc-Fach nicht geöffnet und der

Computer nicht bewegt werden.

Anderenfalls kann die Disc verrutschen und dabei beschädigt werden oder im Laufwerk

eine Funktionsstörung auftreten.

Außerdem sollten Sie bei Verwendung einer Anwendung, die den Zugriff auf eine Disc

erfordert, die Anwendung zuerst schließen, bevor Sie das Disc-Fach öffnen oder die

Disc herausnehmen.

Vorsichtsmaßnahmen zum Gebrauch

Sorgfältige Handhabung der Discs

Bevor Sie die Discs verwenden, lesen Sie die Bedienungsanleitung, die Anleitungen zur

Handhabung von Discs und alle Hinweise auf der Disc-Verpackung bitte aufmerksam durch. Falls die Discs nicht richtig behandelt werden, können sie verschmutzt oder zerkratzt

werden. Außerdem kann sich die Schreibgeschwindigkeit verringern, und die Daten

werden möglicherweise nicht korrekt aufgezeichnet oder wiedergegeben. Oder es kön-

nen andere Schäden auftreten, einschließlich Laufwerkversagen. Beachten Sie daher die folgenden Vorsichtshinweise.

• Berühren Sie nie die (unbedruckte) Datenoberﬂ äche.

• Halten Sie die Disc-Oberﬂ äche sauber und frei von Schmutz, Staub und Fingerabdrü- cken, und vermeiden Sie Kratzer.

• Schreiben Sie nicht mit einem Kugelschreiber oder anderen Schreibinstrumenten auf der Disc-Oberﬂ äche.

• Bringen Sie keine Aufkleber auf den Discs an.

• Discs dürfen weder fallengelassen noch verbogen oder durch schwere Gegenstände belastet werden.

• Verwahren Sie Ihre Discs nicht an einem Ort, wo sie zu hohen Temperaturen, direkter Sonneneinstrahlung, Feuchtigkeit oder Staub ausgesetzt sind.

• Wenn Discs aus kalten in warme Räume gebracht werden, kann auf ihnen Feuchtigkeit kondensieren.

Diese muss bei Nur-Lese-Discs mit einem weichen, trockenen, fusselfreien Tuch ent-

fernt werden, bevor Sie die Disc in das Laufwerk einlegen können. Bei beschreibbaren Discs müssen Sie so lange warten, bis der Niederschlag abgetrocknet ist.

• Wenn die Discs nicht verwendet werden, bewahren Sie sie in ihren Schutzhüllen oder Kassetten auf.

So reinigen Sie die Discs

<Für Nur-Lese-Discs> Wischen Sie die Disc mit einem weichen, trockenen Tuch geradlinig von der Mitte nach außen ab. Falls die Disc stark verschmutzt ist, wischen Sie sie mit einem weichen, feuchten Tuch ab, indem Sie von der Mitte gerade nach außen wischen, und wischen Sie dann mit einem trockenen Tuch nach, um die verbleibende Feuchtigkeit aufzunehmen. <Für wieder beschreibbare Discs> Verwenden Sie das Reinigungsmittel für wiederbeschreibbare Discs, um diese Discs zu reinigen. Verwenden Sie auf alle Fälle weder ein Tuch noch CD-Reinigungsmittel oder andere derartige Reinigungsmittel.
