Learning the Basics
Using the optical disc drive
Media control buttons
The media control buttons located on the system control panel to
the side of the keyboard let you mute the sound and play audio CDs
or DVD movies when the computer is on.
(Sample Illustration) Media control buttons
The Play/pause button starts playing the disc or makes it pause if
currently playing.
The Mute button allows you to mute the sound.
The Volume control allows you to decrease and increase the
computer’s volume.
If your computer comes with a solid state drive (SSD), under certain
unusual conditions of prolonged non-use and/or exposure to high
temperatures, your SSD may be vulnerable to data retention errors.
Inserting an optical disc
To insert an optical disc into the drive:
1
Make sure the drive’s in-use indicator light is off.
Handle DVDs and CDs carefully, making contact only with the center
hole and edge. Do not touch the surface of the disc. Do not stack
discs. If you incorrectly handle the discs, you could lose data.
