Learning the Basics

Using the optical disc drive

Inserting an optical disc 

To insert an optical disc into the drive:

1

Make sure the computer is turned on.

2

Make sure the drive’s in-use indicator light is off.

3

Press the drive’s eject button.

4

Hold the disc by its edges and check that it is free of 
dust.

If the disc is dusty, clean it.

5

Place the disc carefully in the disc tray, label side up, 
and gently press the disc onto the center spindle until it 
clicks into place.

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.

6

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 (

) + 

E

 keys.

2

Double-click 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.
