Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide
Possible solution
Open the file in Windows Media Player. Ensure Windows Media Player is
configured to automatically download codecs.
If the correct codec is available, the file will play. Note that you must be
connected to the Internet to download the codec file.
If the correct codec is not available, check to see whether there is an
update available for Windows Media Player.
For more information, open Windows Media Player Help and search for
codec.
Detached non-powered speakers (speakers without a separate power cord)
will not produce satisfactory sound. Replace the non-powered speakers with
powered speakers. Powered speakers have a power cord and On button, and
they connect to the Audio Out (green) connector on the back of the computer.
