Book PC
If you wish to play an audio CD-ROM, you can use the Gamut software application. See
appendix B for more information on using the Gamut application.
Note: When playing an audio CD-ROM, you can use the extra control buttons that
may be available on the front panel of the CD-ROM/DVD drive, as indicated in the
picture above. If you have headphones, you can also listen to audio tracks by
plugging it into the headphones jack of the drive. Use the volume control wheel to
adjust the volume.
To play movies or access multimedia files on a CD-ROM/DVD disk, you can use the
optional WINDVD software application. See appendix C for more information on using the
WINDVD application.
Both the Gamut audio application and, if the system comes with the optional DVD drive,
the WINDVD multimedia application are bundled with the Book PC, and are either
preinstalled on the hard disk or available for installation from a support disk.
Alternatively you can use the standard Windows Media Player, which has similar but
somewhat limited functions as the software applications mentioned above.
1. In Windows Start menu, point to the Programs, Accessories, and Entertainment
headings to display the Media Player name and icon. Click on Media Player to open
the Media Player utility.
2. In Media Player, point to the Device item to display the Device menu. Select the kind
of device that you want to play.
3. If you have selected a movie or audio title, your computer automatically locates the
CD-ROM title in the CD-ROM drive.
4. When you select a file to play, Media Player displays a dialog box that allows you to
select the drive and file name that you wish to play.
5. Before you click on the Play button in Media Player, you may wish to open the Audio
Accessories program group and display the volume control utility so you can adjust
the sound level and balance. You can use the Properties option in the Device menu to
configure the way your computer plays certain media files.
If you need to open the drive tray while the power is turned off, or because the eject tray
switch is not working, you can insert a straightened paper clip into the manual eject hole.
