NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has
printing on only half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the
imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed, causing the drive to vibrate or
produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-speed technology
and do not indicate a problem with the drive.

Emergency Eject

The procedure described below can be used to remove a disc from the drive if the eject button is
disabled by software or if a power failure occurs.
1. Power off the computer.
2. Insert a small diameter rod or a stiff wire (a straightened paper clip about 1.2
mm [0.047 in] in diameter) into the emergency eject hole and push firmly.
3. The disc tray is ejected by about 10 mm (0.39 in). Pull the disc tray out.
NOTE: Do not insert more than 20 mm (0.79 in) in depth.
Inserting more than 20 mm (0.79 in) may damage the drive.

Cleaning Media

If dust or fingerprints get on the disc, wipe it with a soft cloth from the center to the edge.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, paint thinner, record cleaner, solvent or
static repellent. This can damage the disc.
