Playback Software
You must install the DVD playback software to your computer first. If you do not have any
DVD playback software installed in your computer, the included DVD playback software in
the CD kit will bring you the best playback result.
You can immediately play Audio CDs and pre-recorded DVD discs, including movies and
other DVDs. To play a CD or a Digital Video Disc (DVD), insert the disc with the label up
(for CDs). This DVD Writer plays both single-layer and dual-layer DVDs.
Playing Audio CDs
In order to listen to an audio CD, connect an audio cable to the analog audio connector on the
rear of the drive and connect the other end to your sound board.
There are two types of audio you may encounter:
(1) CD-Audio
: This comes from audio discs (like the ones you use in your home stereo) that
are translated directly by your DVD Writer into sound. Although, in most cases a sound
board and speakers are use to hear this audio, you can also listen to it by plugging a set
of headphones or powered speakers into the earphone jack on the front of your drive.
You can control audio playback through software, and adjust the volume with the front
panel volume control.
