Learning the Basics
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, Blu-ray™ Discs, 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.
