How to Play Audio CDs

on Your Drive

YOUR TASK:

Learn how to use your CD-ROM drive so that it can
also play audio CDs. 

YOUR OBJECTIVE:

Increase functionality of your drive. Provide
musical accompaniment for presentations. Goof off
at work.

YOUR METHOD:

A variety exists for you to choose from. You can use
anything from front panel controls or very basic,
bare bones audio CD software utilities up to
software utilities which rival or surpass the
capabilities of the CD player attached to your stereo
system.

1) The most basic method is to use the 4PleX Plus front panel audio controls.

No special drivers are needed to operate this feature.

Once an AUDIO CD is inserted into the drive, simply push the button to
begin AUDIO play. Once the AUDIO is playing, push the play button once
for track advance, or hold down the button for more than 1 second to begin
a fast forward search (ffwd). To eject the caddy from the drive, press the
Stop/Eject button once to stop AUDIO play and a second time to eject the
CD.

While in audio CD play mode, you can read a CD-ROM data disc by simply
removing the audio CD and inserting a data CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2) If you are a PC owner running Windows, you can use the Media Player

found in the Accessories group. To do so you must first load the [MCI] CD
Audio driver. Find the disks on which you received Windows, then follow
these steps:

a) Insert an audio CD into your CD-ROM drive.

b) In Windows, select ‘‘Program Manager.’’

c) In ‘‘Program Manager,’’ select the ‘‘Main’’ group.

d) In the ‘‘Main’’ group, select ‘‘Control Panel.’’

e) In ‘‘Control Panel,’’ select ‘‘Drivers.’’
