Front with the display open
CD/DVD/Media Player power switch
The CD/DVD/Media Player power switch allows you to play 
audio CDs with the computer turned off. This switch has two 
positions: CD/DVD, which is to the left as you face the computer 
from the front, and Media Player, which is to the right. What 
happens when you press this switch depends on what’s in the 
drive.
NOTE: If you have set a password for logging onto your 
system, your computer will start up and you will need to log 
on before being able to play a CD or DVD. 
DVD playback and the power switch
The CD/DVD/Media Player switch sets the computer to turn on 
the CD/DVD player automatically if there is a disc in the 
DVD-ROM drive when the computer is turned off, or to power up 
and launch Windows Media
TM
 Player. 
Audio CD playback and the power switch
If there’s an audio CD in the drive, setting the switch to the left 
leaves the computer’s main power off, but turns on the sound 
system and the disk activity light. 
To play the CD, press the Play/Pause button.
To stop the CD, slide the switch to the left and hold it for two 
seconds.
What happens when the drive is empty
If there’s nothing in the drive, setting the switch to the left turns on 
the sound system and the disk activity light. 
To eject the CD/DVD tray, press either the eject button on the 
drive or the Stop button twice.
