Using Your Computer

Playing DVD Discs

If your eMac has a DVD/CD-RW Combo drive or a SuperDrive, you can play standard
DVD-Video discs. To play a DVD, insert the DVD disc. DVD Player opens automatically
and starts playing the disc.

If your eMac is connected to a TV so that you can watch DVD playback on the TV
screen, select 720 x 480 NTSC (in the United States) or 720 x 576 PAL (in Europe and
other regions) in the Displays pane of System Preferences.

You can easily connect your eMac to your stereo system. Use a 3.5-millimeter miniplug-
to-RCA cable (not included) to connect the headphone port (f ) on your eMac to the
audio input ports on your stereo.

Recording CD-R and CD-RW Discs

If your eMac has a DVD/CD-RW Combo drive or a SuperDrive, you can record music on
CD-R or CD-RW discs right from your iTunes library.

To record music to a CD-R or CD-RW disc:

1

Click the iTunes icon in the Dock.

2

Select the playlist you want to record.

3

Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc. (For highest compatibility with CD players,

4

At the top of the iTunes window, click Burn CD.

You can also record data on CD-R and CD-RW discs:

1

Insert a blank disc in the optical drive.

In the dialog that appears, enter a name for the disc. An icon for the CD appears on the
desktop.

3

Drag files and folders to the disc icon.

Choose File > Burn Disc, or select the disc and drag it to the Burn Disc icon in the Dock.
