4 Optical Drive Software Using CDs and DVDs This chapter provides guidelines for playing CDs and DVDs using software that has been preloaded and preinstalled on select notebooks. This software supports optical drives in an optional external MultiBay or optional Advanced Port Replicator with built-in MultiBay, as well as the integrated optical drive on your notebook. Protecting Playback Ä CAUTION: Do not insert or remove a device while running multimedia applications, because the application may pause or stop playing. Ä CAUTION: To prevent possible video and audio degradation and loss of audio or video playback functionality, do not initiate Standby or Hibernation while using drive media. If Hibernation or Standby is accidentally initiated while an audio or video disc is in use: ■ Your playback may be interrupted. ■ You may see a warning message: "Putting the computer into Hibernation or Standby may stop the playback. Do you want to continue?" Select No. Resume from Hibernation or Standby by pressing the power button. Audio and video may resume automatically or you may need to restart the media.
