Power Mac G4 Cube: How to Insert a CD or DVD Disc

This article explains how to insert a CD or DVD disc in the Power Mac G4 Cube computer's DVD-ROM drive.
When you insert a CD or DVD disc into the Power Mac G4 Cube computer's DVD-ROM drive, the label side should be facing you (assuming that the computer is oriented with the Apple logo facing you, and the ports are facing away from you). The drive ejects discs that are incorrectly oriented.

Some DVD discs have data on both sides of the disc, neither of which have a label. You should insert these discs with the side you want to access facing away from you.
