OPEN
1) Slide the [OPEN] lever to the right.
The cover of the disk tray opens a little, so you can open the cover by hand.
2) Insert a disk to the drive slot.
The unit loads the disk and reads the disk information.
When the unit is shipped from the factory, the current drive is set to the internal hard
disk drive, so the display shows the Home screen for partition 1. Therefore, the screen
does not change when loading a DVD-RAM disk.
To eject the disk, press the eject button located at the left of the slot.
3) Close the tray cover until locked by hand.
Now you can format the DVD-RAM disk by following the procedure described on the next
page.

The internal DVD multi drive of the PD204 features a slim drive and accepts a non-cartridge
DVD-RAM disk (4.7GB, 2-3 x or more than 3x). An unused DVD-RAM disk must be formatted in
UDF 1.5.
Preparation of a DVD-RAM disk
<Note>:
Do not eject a DVD disk from the disk tray while the current drive is set to
the DVD drive and the disk is running. Before you eject the disk, make sure that
the disk is stopped (the [PAUSE] indicator is unlit).
Also note that it takes some time to eject the disk. Do not press the [PLAY], [F.
FWD] or [REW] key.
