Removing Media
1 Push and release the eject button on the front of the optical drive. This will stop the drive and the holder tray will
come out of the notebook a short distance.
2 Gently pull the tray out until the disc can easily be removed from the tray.
3 Carefully remove the media disc from the holder tray.
4 Gently push the holder tray back in until you hear a click.
Playing Media on the Optical Drive
Starting a DVD Movie
1 Insert the DVD into the notebook’s optical drive. If the AutoPlay feature activates, skip Step 2.
2 The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you want the
system to do when discs are inserted (e.g., start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you make a selection,
you will receive the same prompt whenever you insert a disc.
Emergency Optical Drive Tray Release
If for some reason the eject button fails, you can open
the media tray with a paper clip inserted into the eject
hole in the far right side of the front of the tray.
Straighten one side of a paper clip and push it gently
into the hole. The tray will pop out a short distance.
