Operating the Drive

Drive Operation

  • Inserting a disc
  1. Press the Eject button on the DVD+RW drive to eject the tray.
  2. Place the disc on the tray with the labeled side facing up.
  3. Press the eject button or gently press the front of the disc tray to retract the tray back into the drive.
  • Removing a disc
  1. Press the Eject button on the DVD+RW drive to eject the tray.
  2. Remove the disc from the tray and place it in its protective case.
  3. Press the eject button or gently press the front of the disc tray to retract the tray back into the drive.
  • Creating a CD or DVD
  1. Please consult the user's manual for your CD/DVD Creation software for information on making a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, or DVD+RW disc.

Usage Guidelines

  • Keep the disc tray closed when not using the DVD+RW drive.
  • Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it.
  • Do not place objects on the disc tray.
  • Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc.
  • Do not press the Open/Close button while the computer is accessing the disc.

NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a CD has printing on only half the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the CD, 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

Emergency Ejection

When power is switched OFF or the eject button does NOT function, insert a metal rod (an extended large paper clip with diameter of 1.2 mm or less is suitable) into the emergency eject hole at a right angle to the front panel, then push the rod to eject the disc. Do this only when the ON/BUSY indicator is not lit.

 


Cleaning discs

Disc Handling

When removing a disc from its protective case or loading a disc into a drive, hold it by its center hole and outer edge. Avoid touching the disc's data surface (non-labeled side).

To protect the disc against scratches and dirt when not in use, keep it in its protective case.

Cleaning a disc

Wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. Always wipe from the center hole towards the outer edge. Wiping in a circular motion can cause circular scratches which can damage the disc.


Cleaning the Drive

There is no recommended cleaning kit available. Wet-type lens cleaners are strongly discouraged, as they may cause damage to the drive. As long as the drive is used in an ordinary office environment, there should be no need to clean the drive.
