Learning the Basics

Using the optical disc drive

Handle DVDs and CDs carefully, making contact only 
with the center hole and edge. Do not touch the surface 
of the disc. Do not stack discs. If you incorrectly handle 
the discs, you could lose data.

Push the disc tray in by pressing gently on the center of 
the tray until it clicks into place.

If you insert the disc incorrectly, it may jam the drive. If 
this happens, contact Toshiba support for assistance.

Playing optical media

If you insert an optical disc into the optical disc drive and the 
Auto-Run feature does not automatically start your disc, try 
launching the optical disc manually. To do this, follow these 
steps:

1

Press the 

Windows 

(

)  + 

E

 keys.

2

Double-click or touch the optical disc drive icon.

The drive will run the optical disc.

If your disc does not run using this method, try using an 
application that is associated with the media on the disc. For 
example, if it is a music CD, open Windows Media

®

 Player 

and use it to select and then play the CD. For other types of 
media, use the associated software to open the files on the 
disc.

Recording optical media

Depending on the configuration, your computer may come 
with an optical disc drive that allows you to:

❖

Play pre-recorded and recorded optical media.

❖

Read/write data and multi-media files to recordable 
optical media.

For more information regarding supported optical media 
formats please refer to your computer’s detailed 
specifications at
