Using the optical drive

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 use it to select and then play the CD. For other types of media, use the associated software to open the files on the disc.

Creating a CD/DVD

Depending on the configuration, your computer may come with a multi-function drive that allows you to:

❖Play pre-recorded DVDs

❖Play pre-recorded CDs

❖Read and write data (depending on your system

configuration) and music files to CD-Recordable (CD-R) and CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) discs; and DVD±R/±RW or DVD RAM discs.

NOTE

Due to manufacturing and quality variations in third party

 

optical media (e.g., CD or DVD) or optical media players/

 

recorders, in certain cases, your Toshiba optical drive may not

 

record on certain optical media that bear the applicable logo,

 

or playback optical media recorded by other computers or

 

optical media recorders. Additionally, certain optical media

 

recorded on your optical drive may not playback or operate

 

properly on other computers or optical media players. These

 

problems are not due to any defect in your Toshiba computer

 

or optical drive. Please refer to your computer's product

 

specification for listing of specific format compatibilities.

 

Copy protection technology may also prevent or limit

 

recording or viewing of certain optical media.
