(Sample Image) Windows Media Player screen
The Windows Media Player control panel works much like an
ordinary compact disc player:
❖ To play the CD or to pause, click the Play/pause button.
❖ To stop the CD, click the Stop button.
Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn
the volume dial down. Do not set the volume too high when
using headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can
harm your hearing.
Playing CDs
If you insert a CD into the optical drive and the Auto-Run
feature does not automatically start your disc, try launching
the CD manually. To do this, follow these steps:
1 Open the Start menu and select My Computer.
2 Click the optical drive icon.
The disc drive will run the CD.
