Adjusting the disc mechanism >>

6)This wheel changes the angle in which the disk is held. You will notice that there is a small metal tab, which is holding the wheel in place. Take a permanent pen and mark the point on the wheel that meets the tab. That way you will always know the original position that the wheel was in.

7)Now that the original position has been marked, feel free to spin the wheel for a few full rotations in order to see how it changes the angle. It will only alter the angle a few degrees before it goes back to zero, after it reaches the maximum angle it will go back to flat after each full rotation.

8)Once you have played with it to see how it works, put the wheel back to the original position that you have marked. Then advance the wheel about 1/8 of a turn and place the disk tray cover back on top of the disk tray. (You will not need to screw the tray cover back down in order to test the machine; you will only need to hold down the cover with your fingers while trying to load/test a disk).

9)Now place a DVD in the tray and press the eject/close button in order to close the tray and load the DVD (hold down the cover as explained above).

10)Wait to see if the DVD loads, you may have to use the browser in order to load each disk you test. If the DVD loads, eject it and load a silver backed disk, if that loads try a purple backed disk.
