Play/Skip Button

The Play/Skip button allows you to play audio CDs when the CD-ROM drive is connected to your system’s power supply. If your disc tray is ejected and loaded with a audio CD, pressing this button closes the tray and plays the audio CD.

While your audio CD is playing, you can press this button to skip a track. If you play a disc that does not contain any audio data, you will not hear any sound and the Busy Indicator blinks momentarily to signal the error.

You can operate your CD-ROM drive using controls on the drive’s front panel or using applications such as QuickCD (see Chapter 3). If you are using the controls on the front panel, you cannot use QuickCD. Similarly, if you use QuickCD, you cannot use the controls.

Eject Hole

The Eject Hole allows you to eject the disc tray if the Eject/Stop button is disabled by a software or if power failure occurs. Refer to “Disc Tray” for more information on how to do so.

Stop/Eject Button

The Stop/Eject button stops playing a CD. It also allows you to eject or close the disc tray when the drive is not playing CD.

The Stop/Eject button will not eject the disc tray if the tray is locked by software application. To eject the disc tray, quit the application before you press the button.

Disc Tray

The disc tray is where you place your CD-ROM or audio CD. To eject button the tray, press the Stop/Eject button on your drive.
