Learning the Basics
Using the optical drive
When using Windows Media® Player, your system may not be able
to activate Sleep or Hibernation modes. To prevent this from
occurring, close Windows Media® Player before you select Sleep or
Hibernation mode.
(Sample Image) Windows Media® Player screen
The Windows Media® Player control panel works much like an
ordinary compact disc player:
❖To play the CD or to pause, click the Play/Pause button.
❖To stop the CD, click the Stop button.
Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn the
volume dial down. Do not set the volume too high when using
headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can harm your
hearing.
Playing optical media
If you insert a CD/DVD into the optical drive and the Auto-Run
feature does not automatically start your disc, try launching the CD/
DVD manually. To do this, follow these steps:
1Click Start, and then Computer.
2Click the optical drive icon.
The disc drive will run the CD/DVD.
