just wondering how far into the drive it usually has to be for it to "suck" it in, it seems like on mine i have to leave only about 1/4" out and then it will pull it in, just seems odd as my car's cd player only has to have the disc about half-way in and it pulls it in.

    yeah, mine is a coupla centimetres. surprising, but fine once you get used to it.

    it takes it in at about 1/2 inch and ejects it out halfway. It is probably so you can't grab the disk and stop it as it is being sucked in.

    thanks for all the replies, i guess i just found it odd you had to put 98% of it into the drive especially when it ejects it half way out but i could see what you said being the reason.

    that does indeed make a lot of sense!
