the surface of the disc.
➁To remove dust or fingerprint, use a clean,
soft, dry cloth.

A-6
➂Do not write on, or paste paper
to the surface of the disc.
Should not paste a large or thick
label to the outer back surface
(the label side) of the disc, or it
generates drive vibration due to
imbalance of the disc.
➃Do not store the disc in a place where
the temperature is high.
➄Do not use benzine, thinners and
cleaners, etc.
➅Do not make the center hole larger.
➆Do not bend the disc.
➇Do not drop the disc, or subject it to
shock.

CHAPTER 4 GUIDE TO OPERATION
4.1 INSTALLATIONS
• Starting the drive.
➀Turn on the power supply.
➁Press the eject button. The tray is ejected
from the drive.
➂Place the disc in the tray with the disc’s label
facing up.
➃Press the eject button or press the tray
lightly as in the following figure.

➄Loading start.
CAUTION:
•Do not insert any foreign objects into the disc tray. This could result in a
malfunction.
• Do not manually force the tray to open.
• When the drive is not in use, keep the tray closed to protect against dust and dirt.
• Do not press down hard on the tray when loading a disc, since this may result
in damage to or malfunction of the tray.
• In case of emergency, eject the tray manually
If for some reason the tray will not eject automatically, press
the eject-bar (for example, insert a straightened paper clip
minimum straight length = 45 mm, Diameter = 1 ~ 1.5 mm)
