Usage Guidelines
• Keep the disc tray closed when not using the DVD Rewriteable Drive.
• Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it.
• Do not place objects on the disc tray.
• Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc.
• Do not press the Open/Close button while the drive is playing a DVD movie or accessing a disc.
To stop a DVD movie, click Stop button in the DVD player application program.
NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has printing on only half of the
disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed,
causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-speed
technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive.

eject button fails to open the Loading Tray

Handling Media
DVD media is sensitive to dust and fingerprints. Carefully handle media by its edges only. If a DVD
movie skips or hangs during playback, clean the media. Most DVD video playback issues are media-
related and can be remedied by proper handling and care of media.
Cleaning Media
Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and smears will degrade the disc
accessing speed.
If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth. Avoid cleaning in a circular motion, but rather
from the inner side outward.
