The software required to control the drive depends on the type of drive and the operating environment; see the Help provided with the computer or ask your supplier for details.

The drive has its own headphone jack with associated volume level control. These can be used to listen to music CDs, but not, usually, to the audio on multimedia CDs such as games.

Do not attempt to move the computer while a CD is in the drive, especially if the CD is being played at the time.

Warning

The laser beam inside the CD-ROM drive is harmful to the eyes if exposed. Do not attempt to disassemble the CD-ROM drive. If a fault occurs, call an authorized maintainer.
