The CD Player control panel works much like an ordinary
compact disc player:
❖To play the CD or to pause, click the Play/pause button
on the CD Player control panel.
❖To stop the CD, click the Stop button.
Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn
the volume dial down, and do not set the volume too high
when using the headphones. Continuous exposure to loud
sound can harm your hearing.
Playing CDs using Auto-Run
If you insert a CD into the DVD-ROM/multi-function drive
and the Auto-Run feature does not automatically start your
disc, try launching the CD manually. To do this, follow these
steps:
1Open the Start menu and select My Computer.
2Click the DVD-ROM/multi-function drive icon.
The disc drive will run the CD.
If your disc does not run using this method, try using an
application that is associated with the media on the disc. For
example, if it is a music CD, open Windows® Media Player
and point it to play the CD. For other types of media, use the
associated software to open the files on the disc.
Creating a CD
Depending on your DVD configuration, your computer may
come with a multi-function drive that allows you to:
❖Play pre-recorded DVDs
❖Play pre-recorded CDs
