Learning the Basics

Using the optical disc drive

HINT: Backing up all the files on your internal storage 
drive may take a considerable amount of time and 
multiple CDs/DVDs. You may prefer to use a high-
capacity backup system, such as an external hard drive.

Using the optical disc drive

Optical storage is a popular medium for software, music, 
and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a significant 
increase in data storage and support features that were not 
available on previous video platforms. These features 
include wide-screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital 
surround sound, multiple camera angles, and interactive 
menus.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical disc drive is set to play 
Region 1 (North America) DVD-ROMS. A DVD disc of a 
region other than the above mentioned cannot be played 
unless you manually change it in the Properties setting of 
the optical disc drive. The drive will allow you to change 
regions four times. On the fourth change, the region will 
be “locked in.” That is, the drive will only play DVDs from 
that last region. Note that changing from region 1 to 
region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.

For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that 
you play DVDs while running the computer on AC power.

When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software 
that came with your computer.
