Learning the Basics

not set the volume too high when using headphones. Continuous
exposure to loud sound can harm your hearing.
Playing optical media

If your disc does not run using this method, try using an application
that is associated with the media on the disc. For example, if it is a
music CD, open Windows Media
®
Player and use it to select and
then play the CD. For other types of media, use the associated
software to open the files on the disc.
