Playing Optical Media; Recording Optical Media - Toshiba A9-S9018V User Manual

Playing optical media

If you insert an optical disc into the optical drive and the Auto-Run
feature does not automatically start your disc, try launching the
optical disc manually. To do this, follow these steps:
1 Click Start, and then Computer.
2 Click the optical drive icon.
The disc drive will run the optical disc.
If your disc does not run using this method, try using an application
that is associated with the media on the disc. For example, if it is a
music CD, open Windows Media
then play the CD. For other types of media, use the associated
software to open the files on the disc.

Recording optical media

Depending on the configuration, your computer may come with an
optical drive that allows you to:
❖
Play pre-recorded and recorded optical media
❖
Read/write data and multi-media files to recordable optical
media.

Due to manufacturing and quality variations in third party optical
media (e.g., CD or DVD) or optical media players/recorders, in
certain cases, your Toshiba optical drive may not record on certain
optical media that bear the applicable logo, or play back optical
media recorded by other computers or optical media recorders.
Additionally, certain optical media recorded on your optical drive
may not play back or operate properly on other computers or optical
media players. These problems are not due to any defect in your
Toshiba computer or optical drive. Please refer to your computer's
product specification for listing of specific format compatibilities.
Copy protection technology may also prevent or limit recording or
viewing of certain optical media.
