Using the CD-ROM or DVD Player

The multimedia buttons on the front of the notebook control the CD-ROM/DVD player, and work in much the same way as do the controls of a standalone CD-ROM or DVD player. The CD-ROM/DVD player operates whether the notebook is on, off, or in standby or hibernate mode. (When the notebook is on, the volume control buttons also govern the volume for most other audio applications.)

If the notebook is off or in standby or hibernate mode, slide the multimedia power switch to the left to activate the player. For details about using the CD-ROM/DVD player, see the notebook’s Reference Guide.
