Drive Operation  
Inserting a Disc  
• Press the eject button. The disc tray will be ejected.  
• Place the disc in the center of the tray with the label side facing up.  
• Push disc onto hub until secure.  
• Push the disc tray by hand and close completely.  
Removing a Disc  
• Press the eject button. The disc tray will be ejected.  
• Remove the disc.  
• Push the disc tray till it closes completely.  
NOTE: During some drive activities, the drive will not allow the tray to open even  
when the eject button is pressed.  
Usage Guidelines  
• Do not press down on the disc tray when it is opening or closing.  
• Do not place objects on the disc tray.  
• Never use a damaged, broken, scratched, or deformed disc.  
• Keep the disc tray closed when the drive is not in use.  
NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has  
printing on only half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the  
imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed, causing the drive to vibrate or  
produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-speed technology  
and do not indicate a problem with the drive.
