Inserting a compact disc
Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn the
volume dial down. Do not set the volume too high when using the
headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can harm your
hearing.
To insert a compact disc into the drive:
1 Make sure the computer is turned on.
2 Make sure the drive’s in-use indicator light is off.
3 Press the drive’s eject button.
The disc tray slides partially out of the drive (about 1 inch).
HINT: The drive will not open if the computer’s power is off.
4 Grasp the tray and pull it fully open.
5 Hold the disc by its edges and check that it is free of dust.
If the disc is dusty, clean it.
6 Place the disc carefully in the disc tray, label side up.

7 Gently press the disc onto the center spindle until it clicks
into place.
Handle DVDs and CDs carefully, making contact only with the center
hole and edge. Do not touch the surface of the disc. Do not stack
discs. If you incorrectly handle the discs, you could lose data.
