Exploring audio features
You can use your computer to record sounds using an external
microphone. You can play .wav sound files or audio CDs using the
built-in speakers, headphones or external speakers.
Playing an audio CD
You can use your computer to play audio CDs and to make
recordings. For listening to music, you may prefer to use
headphones or external speakers instead of the computer’s built-in
speakers.
WARNING: Before using headphones to listen to an audio
CD, turn the volume dial down. Playing the CD with the
volume set too high could damage your ears.
To insert a CD in the drive, follow the instructions in Using
compact discs on page 72. The computer automatically detects the
compact disc in the drive, opens Windows Media Player
TM
and
begins to play the disc.
To access the Windows Media Player, you can open it through the
Start menu or activate it from the taskbar.
