Using the optical disc drive
Inserting an optical disc
To insert an optical 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.
4 Hold the disc by its edges and check that it is free of dust.
If the disc is dusty, clean it.
5 Place the disc carefully in the disc tray, label side up, and
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.
6 Push the disc tray in by pressing gently on the center of the tray
until it clicks into place.
If you insert the disc incorrectly, it may jam the drive. If this happens,
contact Toshiba support for assistance.
Playing optical media
If you insert an optical disc into the optical disc drive and the
Auto-Run feature does not automatically start your disc, try
launching the optical disc manually. To do this, follow these steps:
1 Press the ( ) +
E keys.
2 Double-click the optical disc drive icon.
The drive will run the optical disc.
If your disc does not run using this method, try using an application
that is associated with the media on the disc. For example, if it is a
music CD, open Windows Media
®
Player and use it to select and
then play the CD. For other types of media, use the associated
software to open the files on the disc.
