For AutoPlay CDs:
• If an AutoPlay CD does not start after the computer resumes from the standby or
hibernation mode, we recommend reinserting the CD again after a 15-second
wait.
• An AutoPlay CD may start during the access of a file.
●
The playback of CDs containing moving pictures (Video CDs, CDs including MPEG
data, etc.) may not be smooth.
If the CD drive has not been accessed within 90 seconds, the drive motor will automati-
cally shut down to reduce the power consumption. When the CD drive is accessed once
again, the power of the drive motor is turned on. However, approximately 30 seconds are
required until data is actually read from the disc.
