How to Use the Discs

When using CD-ROM discs, CD-R discs, DVD discs or CD-RW discs, don’t attach any stickers or labels to the discs. It could cause read and write errors, but data on the disc may be lost due to damage to the disc itself.

The Discs in this unit operate at a very high speed! DO NOT use damaged, cracked or warped discs. The drive’s optical unit may be damaged if they break.

DO NOT use non-standard discs. NON-standard discs may not play or store data properly.

Emergency Eject

This drive has a feature that allows the CD to be ejected manually if this becomes necessary such as failure of the drive or a power outage.

NOTE: Don’t use this feature except in an emergency.

1) Turn the power to OFF.

2) Poke a fine-tipped object (such as a straightened heavy duty paper clip) into the small hole above the eject button. The front door will pop open and the disk tray will come partway out.

3) Pull the front door to open it all the way, then grip the disc tray between thumb and forefinger and gently pull it straight out.

NOTE: This feature is a last measure to be used only in an emergency.

Using it excessively will cause malfunction.

* If you cannot get a good grip on the disc tray with your fingers, use a steel binder clip or spring clamp to pull it out.

Caution!

The disc rotates at high speed in the drive unit.

Use of worn, damaged, or non-standard CD-ROM discs can adversely affect the drive and cause the disc to shatter or crush while in use.

Disc crush can only occur when you use a damaged

CD-ROM disc in the drive. It is an extremely rare occurrence, but there are steps which can be taken to prevent it.

Always check your discs before inserting them into the drive.

1. Take care not to use worn, cracked, damaged, warped or poor quality CD-ROMs, as this may cause damage to your drive.

2. Check the clear plastic on the center of the disc, cracks here are the main cause of disc crush.

3. Do not play CD-ROMs which are a non-standard

(I.e. non-circular)shape, such as heart shaped discs, or discs in the shape of a business card.

How can you keep your discs from becoming damaged?

1. When not in use, remove discs from the drive.

2. Keep discs in the packaging supplied with them and out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

Excessive vibration or a sudden jolt to the drive during operation may cause a malfunction.

Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature as it may cause condensation to collect inside the drive.
