Your Open JukeBox Settings in BIOS 

There are three Open JukeBox settings in BIOS as follows.   

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Auto

: The default setting is “

Auto

on. The Open JukeBox will automatically be launched when it detects a music CD in your CD player. 

Press Insert Key

: Choosing this setting will allow a reminder message popped up on the screen during BIOS POST. It reminds 

you of pressing “Ins” key on your keyboard to start Open JukeBox Player; otherwise the system will launch the Windows 
Operation System. 

CD Player

pressing 

B

 on your keyboard the Windows Operation System will be launched.
