CD/DVD/Media Player power switch
The CD/DVD/Media Player power switch allows you to play
audio CDs with the computer turned off. This switch has two
positions: CD/DVD, which is to the left as you face the computer
from the front, and Media Player, which is to the right. What
happens when you press this switch depends on what’s in the
drive.
NOTE: If you have set a password for logging onto your
system, your computer will start up and you will need to log
on before being able to play a CD or DVD.
DVD playback and the power switch
The CD/DVD/Media Player switch sets the computer to turn on
the CD/DVD player automatically if there is a disc in the
DVD-ROM drive when the computer is turned off, or to power up
and launch Windows Media
TM
Player.
Audio CD playback and the power switch
If there’s an audio CD in the drive, setting the switch to the left
leaves the computer’s main power off, but turns on the sound
system and the disk activity light.
To play the CD, press the Play/Pause button.
To stop the CD, slide the switch to the left and hold it for two
seconds.
What happens when the drive is empty
If there’s nothing in the drive, setting the switch to the left turns on
the sound system and the disk activity light.
To eject the CD/DVD tray, press either the eject button on the
drive or the Stop button twice.
