HINT: High-speed CD

in the drive or the CD.
ADJUST THE WINDOWS VOLUME CONTROL Click the speaker icon in
the lower-right corner of your screen.
Ensure that the volume is turned up by clicking the slidebar and dragging
it up.
Ensure that the sound is not muted by clicking any boxes that are checked.
TEST THE DRIVE WITH ANOTHER CD — Insert another CD to eliminate
the possibility that the original CD is defective.
CHECK THE SPEAKERS AND SUBWOOFER See "Sound and Speaker
Problems" on page 54.
ENSURE THAT WINDOWS RECOGNIZES THE DRIVE Click the Start
button, and then click My Computer. If the CD drive is not listed, perform a full

sometimes prevent Windows from recognizing the drive.

cleaning your CDs. To access help files, see page 38.
