How to set drive power status when the computer is started up
Using [CD/DVD Drive Power] in [Main] menu of the Setup Utility, you can set the drive power
to [On] or [Off] when the computer is started up. (
When [CD/DVD Drive Power] is set to [On] (setting at time of purchase)
The drive power turns on automatically when the computer is turned on.
When [CD/DVD Drive Power] is set to [Off]
The drive power remains off when the computer is started up, so that you will not be able
to boot from the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive.
For example, when you want to minimize power consumption:
Set [CD/DVD Drive Power] to [Off].
When using the drive or inserting a disc, turn the power [On] sliding the drive power/open
switch.
When finished using the drive, remove the disc, and turn the power [Off] sliding the drive
power/open switch.
NOTE
When the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive power is turned off, a message may appear
indicating that [MATSHITA... can now be disconnected safely,] but the DVD-ROM &
CD-R/RW drive cannot be disconnected because it is a built-in unit.
This utility automatically turns the drive power off after the DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW drive
power has been turned on, or after a disc has been removed from the DVD-ROM & CD-R/
RW drive, if a certain period of time passes during which a disc is not set in the drive.
At the time of purchase, this period is set at 3 minutes.
To turn the power on again after it has turned off: open the disc cover, or slide the drive
power/open switch to the left.
Change the time until the power turns off
