PLAYING AN AUDIO CD

USING THE CD PLAYER UTILITY IN WINDOWS 95/98.

1. Connect the 3.5 mm stereo audio cable from the Line-Out Jack of your

CD-ROM to your notebook’s Line-In Jack, or to a self-amplified
speaker.

2. Make sure the CD Player utility has been installed in your Windows

95/98. If not, please go to My Computer > Control Panel >
Add/Remove Programs. Click the Windows Setup tab, and then
select Multimedia to add the CD Player utility.

3. Place an Audio CD in your CD-ROM.

4. The CD Player will then automatically play the audio CD.

Hot-Insert/Remove feature of the PCMCIA CD-ROM

Ideally, you would be able to hot-insert/remove the PCMCIA interface card.
This means you could insert, remove or exchange the card from your system
at any time, without rebooting or turning off your system. However, the
PCMCIA CD-ROM, being a storage device itself, cannot be hot-removed
when it is accessing the data. To avoid system failure, read the following
instructions carefully before using the hot-removing feature.

For Windows 95, hot swapping is allowable with more limits. To avoid
system failure, always follow the steps below to hot-remove the PCMCIA
CD-ROM in Windows 95,

1. Click the PC card indicator on the task bar at the bottom right of the

screen.

2. Click the command to stop the card you want to remove.

3. When the screen prompts, read the instruction carefully. If the system

advises you not to remove the card, DO NOT remove the card. You
should exit the present application and return to step 1.

Be sure you are removing the card by the procedures described above;
otherwise, the dialog box, on the next page, will be displayed.
