  1. Set the scale to Tracks.
  2. Drag the scroll thumb to the second track.

MORE INFORMATION



Depending on the CD-ROM and device driver, you may get the following message: 
   MCI Error: Hardware error on media device.

After receiving this error, you can advance the track scroll thumb to track 2 and start playing Multimedia Beethoven again.

NOTE: Once playing has been successfully started on track 2 or a later track, it may be difficult to scroll the track position. This only happens if the above error occurs, and it depends on the particular configuration of the CD-ROM and accompanying drivers.
