Playing CDs Automatically

By default, Windows is configured to play CDs automatically. Therefore, you generally only need to set SIREN as the default player to automatically play CDs in SIREN. If the computer does not play music CDs automatically, modify the Windows settings.

You cannot configure system autoplay for Windows NT and 2000 through the user interface. By default, autoplay is typically enabled for these operating systems. Some other software applications may disable this feature. Consult your software documentation for more information.
