Using the optical drive

Eject button—Press to release the disc tray.
Do not press the eject button or turn off the computer while the drive
in-use indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or
the drive.
When the disc tray is open, be careful not to touch the lens or the
area around it. Doing so could cause the drive to malfunction.
Manual eject hole—Use if you need to release the disc tray
when the power is off. Use a straightened paper clip or other
narrow object to press the manual eject button located inside
the hole.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
Inserting a compact disc
Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn the
volume dial down. Do not set the volume too high when using the
headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can harm your
hearing.
To insert a compact disc into the drive:
1 Make sure the computer is turned on.
The drive will not open if the computer’s power is off.
2 Make sure the drive’s in-use indicator light is off.
3 Press the drive’s eject button.
The disc tray slides partially out of the drive (about 1 inch).
4 Grasp the tray and pull it fully open.
When the drawer is fully opened, the edge of the computer will
extend slightly over the disc tray. Therefore, you will need to turn the
disc at an angle when you place it in the tray. After seating the disc,
however, make sure it lies flat, as shown in the figure above.
Do not touch the laser lens. Doing so could cause misalignment.
Keep foreign matter from entering the drive. Check the back edge of
the tray to make sure it carries no debris before closing the drive.
