In some cases, only one of the drives is connected to the audio subsystem. • If you are using the Windows 7 operating system, follow the action for "A CD or DVD does not work" on page 85.

Actions: • Verify that the disc is inserted correctly, with its label up. • Make sure that the disc you are using is clean. To remove dust or fingerprints, wipe the disc clean with a soft cloth from the center to the outside. Wiping a disc in a circular motion might cause loss of data. • Verify that the disc you are using is not scratched or damaged. Try inserting another disc that you know is good.

Make sure that the power cable and signal cable are securely connected to the drive.
