Using CDs and DVDs
The Windows Media Player section of this chapter explains how to play audio CDs, the WinDVD section explains how to play DVDs and video CDs, and the Easy CD Creator section explains how to create and copy CDs. Before proceeding to those sections, Compaq strongly recommends that you read the following general information about using CDs or DVDs with any software.
The availability of CD and DVD drive software varies by notebook model and the type of internal optical drive.
Protecting Playback
ÄCAUTION: Inserting or removing any device while running any multimedia application may pause or stop the play.
ÄCAUTION: Initiating Standby or Hibernation while playing a drive medium may stop the play or diminish the quality of the play.
If Standby or Hibernation is accidentally initiated during playback:
■If you see the warning message “Putting the computer into Hibernation or Standby may stop the playback. Do you want to continue?” select No. (Audio and video may resume or you may need to restart the drive medium.)
■If Standby or Hibernation initiates and no warning message is displayed, resume from Hibernation or Standby by briefly pressing the power button, then restart the medium.
For more information about Standby and Hibernation, see the “Power” chapter.
