CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives read audio CDs and a variety of other CD formats. The DVD-ROM drive also plays DVDs. To use a disc in the drive, perform the following steps: 1. Press the button on the front of the drive to open the disc tray and then pull the tray the rest of the way out. 2. Place the disc in the center of the disc tray with the label side facing up. 3. Center the disc on the spindle, as shown in Figure 3-2. Then gently press the CD or DVD down on both sides of the spindle until the disc snaps into place. 4. Close the tray by lightly pressing the front edge of the tray. NOTE: High-speed CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives spin the disc at a very high rotational speed and may be noisy. If a disc has printing on only half of the disc, or if the disc is slightly imbalanced, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed and the noise is louder. This effect is inherent in the high-speed technology and does not indicate a problem with the drive. Using Hardware Devices 3-5
