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.
