Asus K8N - Manual (Page 75)

ASUS K8N motherboard 3-7
3.3 ASUS Instant Music Lite
The motherboard is equipped with a BIOS-based audio playback feature called
Instant Music Lite. This feature is supported by the onboard audio AC’97 Codec,
and requires an optical drive (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or CD-RW).
To enable ASUS Instant Music Lite:
1. Connect the analog audio cable from the optical drive (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM,
or CD-RW drive) to the 4-pin CD-In connector (labeled CD1) on the
motherboard. See section “1.10 Connectors” for the connector location.
5. Save your changes and exit BIOS Setup.
If you have only one optical drive (either CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or CD-RW)
installed in the system, you don’t have to set Instant Music CDROM item. BIOS
automatically detects and displays the installed drive type.
2. Turn on the system and enter the BIOS by pressing the <Del> key during the
Power On Self-Tests (POST).
3. In the Advanced Configuration menu, select the item Instant Music and set
it to Enabled. See section “2.4 Advanced Menu” in the user guide.
4. Highlight the Instant Music CDROM item and press Enter to display the
CD-ROM options. Select the CD-ROM drive that you wish to use for this
feature. See section “2.4 Advanced Menu” in the user guide.
Make sure to connect the CD-ROM audio cable. Otherwise, you cannot control
the audio volume using the Instant Music Lite function keys.

Instant Music Lite feature turns OFF (disabled) automatically. A “beep”
indicates this condition.
