Using CDs and DVDs

Most of this section provides instructions for using optical drive software. Before using any optical drive software, Compaq recommends that you read the following general information about using CDs and DVDs.

Avoiding Standby and Hibernation

ÄCAUTION: To prevent possible video and audio degradation and loss of audio or video playback functionality, do not initiate Standby or Hibernation while using drive media.

If Standby or Hibernation is accidentally initiated while a drive medium is in use:

1.Briefly press the power button to exit Standby or Hibernation.

2.Restart the notebook.

3.For more information about Standby and Hibernation, see Chapter 2, “Power.”

Displaying Media Contents

Autorun, sometimes called autoplay or auto insert notification, is a feature of the operating system. Autorun displays the contents of a drive medium on the screen whenever you insert the medium into a drive (and close the tray, if you are using an optical drive).
