Step 6. Completing the hardware installation

Note: For full drive functionality, install all software applications listed in the browser window except the UDF Reader. This is for other computers that do not recognize UDF files.

Step 8. Setting up the system for CD playback

In order to play audio CDs on your drive, you must enable digital playback. Digital playback uses the IDE data cable to send audio data from the drive to your computer instead of using an analog audio cable. This usually results in better playback quality, at the cost of your computer working a little harder to convert the digital data to analog audio. There are two parts to setting up to listen to CD audio, configuring the drive and configuring the playback application.

Configuring the drive for digital playback

If you have Windows XP, your drive should be automatically configured for digital playback.

If you have Windows 2000 or Windows Me, you will need to configure your system to use digital playback. Please refer to the instructions in “Enabling digital audio extraction” on page C-2for step-by-step procedure on how to enable digital extraction.

Configuring the playback application for digital playback

Your CD playback application must also be configured for digital playback for CD audio to be heard on your system. If you want to use Windows Media Player as your playback application, follow the instructions in “Enabling digital audio extraction” on page C-2to enable this feature in Windows Media Player. If you have a third-party CD player application, refer to that application’s documentation for details.
