USB 2.0 Rewriteable DVD+/-RW Slim External Drive
Playing Audio CDs
To play audio CDs, use the Windows Media
™
Player included in your computer’s operating
system.
The Targus drive supports digital audio extraction (DAE) for audio CD playback. This allows
you to listen to audio CDs via your computer’s built-in audio system without connecting
external devices, such as headphones or speakers. To use this method, the digital audio
feature in Windows Media Player must be enabled.
You can also listen to audio CDs by connecting headphones or external speakers to the
audio out jack on the Targus drive. However, you must disable the digital audio feature in the
property settings in the Device Manager, otherwise you will continue to hear audio through
your computer.
To enable or disable the digital audio feature, refer to the Windows
®
operating system
manual that came with your computer.
Reading Data DVDs
You can read data DVDs without installing any special software.
Playing DVD Movies
To playback movies, you must have a DVD player application installed on your computer.
Alternatively, you may install the DVD player application from the supplied CD-ROM. To
install the DVD player application:
1 Turn on your computer, if it’s off.
2 Insert the DVD playback software CD-ROM into the Targus drive or your computer’s
CD-ROM drive.
3 If setup does not begin automatically, click Start, then Run, and enter D:\setup.exe (where
D: is the path of the CD-ROM drive) then click OK.
4 Follow the remaining on-screen instructions to complete installation.
