Operating your computer
Chapter 3
Using a CD-ROM drive
Your computer may be configured with a CD-ROM drive.
With the appropriate software support, the CD-ROM drive
can retrieve multimedia data from CD-ROM discs and
multisession Photo-CD discs. It can also play commercial audio
CDs.
The software required to control the CD-ROM drive depends
on your operating environment; see the Help provided with
your computer or ask your supplier for details.
The drive has its own headphone jack with associated volume
level control. Alternatively, on systems fitted with a sound card,
sound can be played through the computer’s internal stereo
speakers or the audio output socket.
Do not attempt to move the computer while a CD is in the
drive, especially if the CD is being played at the time.
The laser beam inside the CD-ROM drive is harmful
to the eyes. Do not attempt to disassemble the CD-
ROM drive. If a fault occurs, call an authorized
maintainer.
Direct loading drives
Most CD-ROM drives are of the direct loading variety, where
CDs are placed directly onto the open platter of the drive.
This type of drive is shown in the following illustration.
