Using a CD-ROM drive

Unless either a second hard drive has been installed, or the existing
hard drive has been given more than one partition then the CD-
ROM drive is usually drive D:.

There has recently been a vast increase in the amount of multimedia
software supplied on CD format due to its large capacity, typically
600 Mbytes plus.

With the appropriate software, a CD-ROM drive can retrieve
multimedia data from CD-ROM discs, pictures from Multisession
Photo-CD discs and also play commercial audio CDs.

Although the drive has its own headphone jack, with associated
volume level control, for use in playing audio CD’s, you can plug in
the power speakers at the rear socket, or use the system’s front audio
output socket for headphones. It is also possible if you want, to link
the main headphone socket via a cable, to your Hi-fi system, and
play sounds files, CDs, etc., at higher power.
