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.

Using the Media Player Software
Starting a DVD Movie (DVD Models only)
1 Insert the DVD into the optical drive of the notebook. If the CD AutoRun feature activates, skip Step 2.
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.
3 Click OK to close the About DVD Player Performance dialog box and the movie will begin.
DEPENDING UPON ITS CONFIGURATION, YOUR SYSTEM MAY NOT HAVE THE MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE
PRE-INSTALLED. IF IT IS NOT INSTALLED, REFERENCE THE DOCUMENTATION THAT ACCOMPANIES THE
MEDIA APPLICATION.
