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

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 PCs or optical

 

media recorders. Additionally, certain optical media recorded

 

on your optical drive may not playback or operate properly on

 

other PCs or optical media players. These problems are not

 

due to any defect in your Toshiba PC or optical drive. Please

 

refer to your PC's product specification for listing of specific

 

format compatibilities.

 

Copy protection technology may also prevent or limit

 

recording or viewing of certain optical media.
