About recognition of disc
z It may take about 40 - 50 seconds for an image recorded to a rewritable media to be played back.
While the drive is being accessed
z Do not open the drive or move the computer while the drive is being accessed.
Doing so could cause the disc to shift position and this may damage the disc, or cause the drive to malfunction.
In addition, after running an application involving access to a disc, close the application before opening the disc cover.
z Do not move the computer while in the midst of writing or rewriting, as this may result in a writing failure.
z Do not apply excessive force to the disc cover.
z Do not operate the drive power/open switch.
z Do not shock the computer by removing or inserting cables and cards, etc. This may result in a read or write malfunction.
Disc handling care
z Do not use deformed, warped, or irregularly shaped discs.
Reading of disc may not be possible depending on the disc conditions (cracks, dirt, modification, data recording quality,
copy protection, recording equipment/software that was used to create the disc, etc.)
z Before using a disc, carefully read the operating/handling instructions and package of the disc.
z If the discs are not handled appropriately, they may become dirty or scratched. Furthermore the writing speed may get
slower and the data may not be correctly written on or read from the disc. Other damage may cause a drive failure.
z Note the following precautions.
• Do not touch the disc surface (the side with no printing).
• Keep the disc surface clean and free from dirt, dust, fingerprints and scratches.
• Do not write on the surface of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other writing instrument.
• Do not attach stickers to discs.
• Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of discs.
• Do not place or store discs in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or dust.
• If a disc is brought from a cold to a warm location, condensation may form on the disc. For read-only discs, wipe off the
condensation using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc. For recordable/rewritable discs, wait until the conden-
sation dries.
• When not using discs, keep them in their protective cases or cartridges.
