When inserting the disc you should take care to push the disc right onto the locking mechanism so that it can lock in position. Note Do not place protective foils or other stickers on your discs. To avoid damage to your drive, do not use deformed of damaged discs. Do not use scratched or dirty discs, discs with pieces broken off or discs of poor quality. Because of the high speeds in the drive the discs might break and damage your data as well as your drive. Examine the discs before you enter them.

The disc can be damaged when the drive drawer is pushed in, if it has not been positioned on the support correctly. 50 The Optical Drive 3.
