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.

The procedure described below can be used to remove a disc from the drive if
the eject button is disabled by software or a power failure occurs.

1.2 mm [0.047 in] in diameter) into the emergency eject hole and push
firmly.
