[. . . ] NOTES ON THIS MANUAL Keep these instructions with your computer at all times. The proper set up, use and care can help extend the life of your computer. In the event that you transfer ownership of this computer, please provide these instructions to the new owner. This manual is divided into sections to help you find the information you require. [. . . ] Do not try to remove the CD from the drive while this LED is lit. EMERGENCY EJECTION OF A BLOCKED DISC If the tray fails to open automatically, then the tray can be opened manually provided there is an opening for emergency ejection (13). Restart your notebook and if the tray is still locked proceed as follows: 1. Insert a long thin object (like a straightened paper clip) into the emergency ejection opening (13) until you feel resistance. Remove the disc and restart the notebook. PLAYING MUSIC CDS Windows Media Player and MusicMatch Jukebox can be used to play music CDs. Please refer to the documentation for these programs to decide which program you would like to use. PLAYING DVD MOVIES To play DVD movies on your Notebook, you need a DVD playback software program, such as CyberLink's award-winning PowerDVD. To play DVD movies using this software, insert a movie DVD into the DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drive, then click Start, then All Programs and select PowerDVD. In spite of the high storage capability of the DVD, the data must be extremely compressed in order for a complete feature film to be stored. This extreme compression combined with exceptional picture quality is provided by the MPEG2 image coding method on the DVD. This places high demands on the Notebook's processor, so when playing a DVD please close all other applications. To increase Notebook performance, you may also wish to purchase a THE OPTICAL DRIVE 41 plug-in MPEG2 decoder card, which has its own decompression processor and will thus free the Notebook's processor. NOTE: The decoding software included with your Notebook may be changed for regional DVD decoding up to five times, after which the drive will only play DVD movies for the region setting last entered. WRITING CDS You can use your CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive to write ("burn") data and music CDs. A data CD is a compact disc (CD) used to store PC data (for example, files and folders you have on your hard disk). A music, or audio, CD is a compact disc (CD) used to record music that you can play on your home or car stereo CD player. Using a CD-R instead of a CD-RW for music CDs will help ensure a greater level of compatibility with conventional CD-players. The first step for using any of these options is to insert a blank recordable CD into your combo drive. Nero Burning ROM can create different types of audio, video, and data CDs quickly and easily. Click Start, then All Programs, then Nero, then Nero OEM to access Nero Burning ROM. Follow the step-by-step instructions given by the software wizard to create a CD. Windows XP includes functionality for quickly and easily creating data CDs: 1. To select more than one file, hold down the CTRL key while you click the files you want. In the File and Folder Tasks menu on the left (Picture Tasks if the files are located in My Pictures), click Copy this file, Copy this folder, or Copy the selected items. If you do not see the File and Folder Tasks menu, select Tools on the main menu, then Folder Options. [. . . ] In some countries the exclusion of implied guarantees is not permissible upon principle.
