Playing DVD and Audio Discs

If you have a DVD drive, you can use it to play DVD-Video discs on your computer. Insert the DVD disc and then choose Apple DVD Player from the Apple menu. You can also open Apple DVD Player in the Applications folder on your hard disk. To listen to a standard audio CD, use the AppleCD Audio Player program in the Applications folder. You can also use the AutoPlay section of the QuickTime Settings control panel or the Play portion of the Control Strip to control audio CD playback.

For More Information on Your CD or DVD Drive

For instructions on using Apple DVD Player, open the player and then choose Apple DVD Player Help from the Help menu. Additional information on using CDs or DVDs is available in Mac Help. Choose Mac Help from the Help menu and search for “discs.”

Using Your Modem

Your Macintosh comes with an Apple 56K internal modem installed.

To connect the Apple 56K internal modem, plug one end of a phone cord into the modem port on the back of the computer and the other end into a standard RJ-11 telephone wall jack.

Important Make sure you connect the internal modem to an analog phone line—the kind used typically in homes. The modem will not work with a digital phone line.

More information about the internal modem is available in Mac Help (in the Help menu).

Warning Disconnect your modem from the phone jack during lightning or thunder storms. This will prevent a destructive voltage overload from damaging the modem.

Using an External USB Modem

To connect an external USB modem, use a USB cable to connect the modem to a free USB port on the keyboard, computer, USB monitor, or USB hub.

Check the documentation that came with the modem to see if it needs to be plugged into a power outlet. Also look for instructions about installing modem software and connecting the modem to a telephone line.
