Operating Basics
This feedback occurs repeatedly and causes a very loud, high-pitched
noise. It is a common phenomenon that occurs in any sound system when
the microphone input is output to the speaker (throughput) and the speaker
volume is too loud or too close to the microphone. You can control
throughput by adjusting the volume of your speaker or through the Mute
function in the Master Volume panel. Refer to your Windows documentation
for details on using the Master Volume panel.
Using the optical disc drive
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optical disc
drive. However, operation is the same for all other optical media drives. The
full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-based
programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CDs without an
adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD operation. When
the computer is accessing a CD/DVD, an indicator on the drive glows.
Refer also to the Writing CD/DVD with the DVD Super Multi drive or HD
