Audio/Sound

Built-in Speakers

Your WinBook notebook comes with built-in audio hardware that plays
sounds through the speakers built into the cabinet of your system. You can
adjust the volume levels via the volume properties within Windows or by
turning the volume control knob located on the front of the WinBook.
Refer to the Help and Support Center within Windows for more informa-
tion.

Built-in Microphone

The microphone built into the case of your WinBook notebook provides
you with an integrated source for adding sound to your applications or for
using the speech functions of your applications. You will need applications
capable of using such sound input to make use of the microphone. Refer 
to the Help and Support Center within Windows for directions on how to
enable the built-in microphone.

Optical Drive

An optical drive provides you with a means of having access to programs
or data that take up a lot of disk space, without having to sacrifice a large
section of your hard drive for that purpose. An optical drive uses data CDs
that are capable of holding hundreds of megabytes of data (DVD disks can
hold several gigabytes of information). The high-speed access rate 
of your optical drive enables it to search data and retrieve the specific 
data that you want very quickly. Their high capacity and fast speed makes
CD's very useful for programs such as encyclopedias and other reference
works that require a lot of space and a fast search mechanism, and to
which you do not need to add data. Your CD drive can also be used to
play audio CDs through the audio hardware built into your WinBook as
well as view photo CD's on your display.
