Operating Basics

Using the microphone (optional)

Some models in this series are equipped with a built-in microphone that

can be used to record monaural sounds into your applications. It can also

be used to issue voice commands to applications that support such

functions.(Built-in microphone is provided with some models)
Since your computer has a built-in microphone and speaker, "feedback"

may be heard under certain conditions. Feedback occurs when sound from

the speaker is picked up in the microphone and amplified back to the

speaker, which amplifies it again to the microphone.
This feedback occurs repeatedly and causes a very loud, high-pitched

noise. It is a common phenomenon that occurs in any sound system when

the microphone input is output to the speaker (throughput) and the speaker

volume is too loud or too close to the microphone. You can control

throughput by adjusting the volume of your speaker or through the Mute

function in the Master Volume panel. Refer to your Windows documentation

for details on using the Master Volume panel.

Using the optical disc drive

The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-based

programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CDs without an

adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD operation. When

the computer is accessing a CD/DVD, an indicator on the drive glows.
Refer also to the

Writing CD/DVD with the DVD Super Multi drive

supporting DVD±R DL

section for precautions on writing to CD/DVD.
