and CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) discs; and DVD±R/±RW
or DVD RAM discs.
Due to manufacturing and quality variations in third party
optical media (e.g., CD or DVD) or optical media players/
recorders, in certain cases, your Toshiba optical drive may not
record on certain optical media that bear the applicable logo,
or play back optical media recorded by other computers or
optical media recorders. Additionally, certain optical media
recorded on your optical drive may not play back or operate
properly on other computers or optical media players. These
problems are not due to any defect in your Toshiba computer
or optical drive. Please refer to your computer's product
specification for listing of specific format compatibilities.
Copy protection technology may also prevent or limit
recording or viewing of certain optical media.
For details on how to use the software, please refer to the
respective Online Help menus.
Removing a disc with the computer on
To remove a disc (CD or DVD) with the computer turned on:
1 Press the eject button on the drive.
Do not press the eject button while the in-use indicator light is
glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or the drive.
Also, if the disc is still spinning when you open the disc tray,
wait for it to stop spinning before you remove it.
2 Pull the tray out until it is fully open, remove the disc,
and place it in its protective cover.
3 Gently press the tray in to close it.
