88 Learning the Basics Using the optical disc drive Playing optical media If you insert an optical disc into the optical disc drive and the Auto-Run feature does not automatically start your disc, try launching the optical disc manually. To do this, follow these steps: 1 Click Start, and then Computer. 2 Double-click the optical disc drive icon. The drive will run the optical disc. If your disc does not run using this method, try using an application that is associated with the media on the disc. For example, if it is a music CD, open Windows Media® Player and use it to select and then play the CD. For other types of media, use the associated software to open the files on the disc. Recording optical media Depending on the configuration, your computer may come with an optical disc drive that allows you to: ❖ Play pre-recorded and recorded optical media. ❖ Read/write data and multi-media files to recordable optical media. For more information regarding supported optical media formats please refer to your computer's detailed specifications at support.toshiba.com. NOTE Due to manufacturing and quality variations in third party optical media (e.g., CD or DVD) or optical media players/recorders, in certain cases, your Toshiba optical disc drive may not record on certain optical media that bear the applicable logo, or play back optical media recorded by other computers or optical media recorders. Additionally, certain optical media recorded on your optical disc drive may not play back or operate properly on other computers or optical media players. These problems are not due to any defect in your Toshiba computer or optical disc drive. Please refer to your computer's product specification for listing of specific format compatibilities. Copy protection technology may also prevent or limit recording or viewing of certain optical media. For details on how to use the software, please refer to the respective Online Help menus.
