Usage
Guidelines
-
Keep the disc tray closed when not using the CD-ROM
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 computer
is accessing the disc.
 |
NOTE:
High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed.
If a CD has printing on only half of the disc, or if there
is a slight imbalance in the CD, 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. |

Emergency
Ejection
 |
CAUTION:
The following procedure is intended only as a last
resort when pressing the eject button fails to open the CD
tray. |
-
Turn computer power OFF by properly shutting down
system.
-
Insert a solid bar (i.e. large paper clip) into
Emergency Eject hole and push in as shown in the picture below.
-
CD tray will open/eject.
Figure 3.Using Emergency Eject
This procedure cannot be repeated without cycling
the CD-ROM’s (computer's) power.
After the media is removed and the loading tray is closed, the tray
will not reopen without first turning the power ON/OFF.
|
NOTE:
Use a bar that is less than 1.5 mm in diameter.
Do not insert more than 50mm in depth.
Inserting more than 50mm may damage the CD-ROM drive. |

Cleaning
CD Disc
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.
Cleaning
the Drive
Toshiba does not recommend cleaning the drive.
