4: Daily use of the PORT DVD
For a description of the PORT DVD, see page 7.
To insert or eject a media, press the eject button, which is only active when the
system is ready-to-operate (see page 7).
When inserting a CD or DVD disc place printed side face up. The disc will need
to be snapped down over the spindles.
Please do not touch the underside of the media as any kind of dirt might result
in read errors or even uselessness.
A significant advantage of the PORT DVD is its portability. By connecting to the
Cable interface it is very easy to operate the drive on different computers. In
order to do so, it is necessary to install the drivers on every computer as
described in Chapter 3.
The computer has to be restarted so that the PORT DVD can be detected.
Operation of the PORT DVD
A CD/DVD-ROM drive is seen by the operating system as a write-protected disk,
so that the familiar commands such as DIR, TYPE etc. can be used.
Many CD/DVDs are shipped with their own utility programs which help you
browse or run programs on the CD/DVD. To use these programs read the
instructions that came with the CD/DVD.
To access Photo CDs you need special programs that you can order from your
software dealer.
To play audio CDs you can use the Windows 95/98 CD Player application which
provides the usual CD controls. But you also need to connect to the Audio Out
jack on the PORT DVD drive. Refer to page 7 for additional information.
