Emergency Optical Drive Tray Release
If for some reason the eject button fails, you can open the media tray with a paper clip or similar tool
inserted into the eject hole in the right side of the front of the tray. Straighten one side of a paper clip and
push it gently into the hole. The tray will pop out.

2 The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you want the
system to do when discs are inserted (e.g., start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you make a selection,
you will receive the same prompt whenever you insert a disc.
