Playing DVD Discs
If your eMac has a DVD/CD-RW Combo drive or a SuperDrive, you can play standard
DVD-Video discs. To play a DVD, insert the DVD disc. DVD Player opens automatically
and starts playing the disc.
If your eMac is connected to a TV so that you can watch DVD playback on the TV
screen, select 720 x 480 NTSC (in the United States) or 720 x 576 PAL (in Europe and
other regions) in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
You can easily connect your eMac to your stereo system. Use a 3.5-millimeter miniplug-
to-RCA cable (not included) to connect the headphone port (f) on your eMac to the
audio input ports on your stereo.
Recording CD-R and CD-RW Discs
If your eMac has a DVD/CD-RW Combo drive or a SuperDrive, you can record music on
CD-R or CD-RW discs right from your iTunes library.
To record music to a CD-R or CD-RW disc:
1 Click the iTunes icon in the Dock.
2 Select the playlist you want to record.
3 Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc. (For highest compatibility with CD players,
use a CD-R disc.)
4 At the top of the iTunes window, click Burn CD.
You can also record data on CD-R and CD-RW discs:
1 Insert a blank disc in the optical drive.
2 In the dialog that appears, enter a name for the disc. An icon for the CD appears on the
desktop.
3 Drag files and folders to the disc icon.
4 Choose File > Burn Disc, or select the disc and drag it to the Burn Disc icon in the Dock.
