When
using
CD-ROM
discs,
CD-R
discs
or
CD-RW
discs,
don't
attach
any
stickers
or
labels
to
the
discs.
Using
discs
with
them
attached
not
only
causes
read
and
write
errors,
but
data
on
the
disc
may
be
lost
due
to
damage
to
the
disc
itself.
The
Discs
in
this
unit
operate
at
a
very
high
speed!
DO
NOT
use
damaged,
cracked
or
warped
discs.
The
drive's
optical
unit
may
be
damaged
if
they
break.
DO
NOT
use
non-standard
discs.
NON-standard
discs
may
not
play
or
store
data
properly.
Non-standard
discs
are
any
discs
that
are
not
the
standard
12
cm
CD
type
discs.
This
includes
8
cm
discs,
Sony
WalkmanTM
discs,
non-circular
discs
including
promotional,
business
card
discs,
and
other
unusual
discs.
This
drive
has
a
feature
that
allows
the
CD
to
be
ejected
manually
if
nec-
essary
in
an
emergency,
such
as
failure
of
the
drive
or
a
power
outage.
NOTE:
Don't
use
this
feature
except
in
an
emergency.
1)
Turn
the
power
to
OFF.
2)
Poke
a
fine-tipped
object
(such
as
a
straightened
heavy
duty
paper
clip)
into
the
small
hole
above
the
eject
button.
The
front
door
will
pop
open
and
the
disk
tray
will
come
partway
out.
3)
Pull
the
front
door
to
open
it
all
the
way,
then
grip
the
disc
tray
between
thumb
and
forefinger
and
gently
pull
it
straight
out.
NOTE:
This
feature
is
a
last
measure
to
be
used
only
in
an
emergency.
Using
it
excessively
will
cause
malfunction.
*
If
you
cannot
get
a
good
grip
on
the
disc
tray
with
your
fingers,
use
a
steel
binder
clip
or

Caution!
The
disc
rotates
at
high
speed
in
the
drive
unit.
Use
of
worn,
damaged,
or
non-standard
CD-ROM
discs
can
only
adversely
affect
the
drive
and
cause
the
disc
to
shatter
or
crush
while
in
use.
Disc
crush
can
only
occur
when
you
use
a
damaged
CD-ROM
disc
in
the
drive.
It
is
an
extremely
rare
occurrence,
but
there
are
steps
which
can
be
taken
to
prevent
it.
Always
check
your
discs
before
inserting
them
into
the
drive.
1.
Take
care
not
to
use
worn,
cracked,
damaged,
warped
or
poor
quality
CD-ROMs,
as
this
may
cause
damage
to
your
drive.
2.
Check
the
clear
plastic
on
the
center
of
the
disc,
cracks
here
are
the
main
cause
of
disc crush.
3.
Do
not
play
CD-ROMs
which
are
a
non-standard
(I.e.
non-circular)shape,
such
as
heart
shaped
discs,
or
discs
in
the
shape
of
a
business
card.
How
can
you
keep
your
discs
from
becoming
damaged?
1.
When
not
in
use,
remove
discs
from
the
drive.
2.
Keep
discs
in
the
packaging
supplied
with
them
and
out
of
direct
sunlight
and
away
from
heat
sources.
Excessive
vibration
or
a
sudden
jolt
to
the
drive
during
operation
may
cause
a
malfunction.
Avoid
exposing
the
drive
to
sudden
changes
in
temperature
as
it
may
cause
condensation
to
collect
inside
the
drive.
