Caring For Cds And Dvds; Using External Display Devices - Toshiba M205-S810 - Portege - Pentium M 1.5 GHz User Manual

Caring for CDs and DVDs

❖
Store your discs in their original containers to protect
them from scratches and keep them clean.
❖
Never bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.
❖
Never apply a label to, or otherwise mar the surface of a
disc.
❖
Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the
surface can prevent the drive from reading the data
properly.
❖
Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or
cold.
❖
To clean a disc that is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry
cloth. The most efficient method to clean it is to start
from the center of the disc and wipe toward the outward
edge (not in a circle). If necessary, moisten the cloth with
water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or rubbing
alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before inserting it in
the drive.

Using external display devices

Your computer comes with a built-in LCD display, but you
can easily attach an external monitor to your computer if you
need a larger screen. To do this:
1 Connect the monitor's video cable to the RGB (monitor)
port on the back of the computer.
2 Connect the monitor's power cord/cable to a live
electrical outlet.
3 Turn on the external monitor.
4 Set the display mode by pressing
Display Properties settings. For more information, see
