2.1 Playing a CD on Your OPUS
When inserting a CD a pop-up menu will appear giving you the options to either play the CD,
select a particular track from the CD, or to import the CD. If you choose to play the CD it will be
played back directly from the CD drive. The top menu will change to include an additional item
CD IN DRIVE, which allows you at a later time to go back to your CD.

additional online check can often find the right one, so being online is an advantage. Even then in
rare cases you may end up with the wrong information being pulled for the CD you have entered.

If the CD can’t be found in the internal database and your OPUS is connected to the Internet,
