Reading Discs

E Z D V D + R W

CD-ROMs & DVD-ROMs- You should follow the instructions in the user manual that accompanies the software for details on how to install or run the program.

Audio CDs - When these are inserted into the drive the disc may automatically launch an Audio CD playback program like Windows Media Player or Real Player and start playback automatically. If this is not the case you will need to run an Audio CD playback program manually or possibly install one if your computer does not have one installed by default. You can find more information on Audio CD playback applications using any good search engine.

DVD-Videos- To playback DVD videos on your computer you will need to use a software or hardware decoder to watch the film. Amacom supply a software decoder called PowerDVD (PC Only) with the EZDVD+RW drive, which when installed will allow the playback of DVD movies on your computer. Apple Macintosh users will be able to use the Apple DVD Player that is available from Apple’s website.

Writing Discs

There are many different types of discs that can be created and recorded using the EZDVD+RW and the supplied software.

To ensure that you fully benefit from the multitude of options available, Amacom recommends reading the online user manuals that accompany the software on their installation CDs.
