Learning the Basics
Using the optical drive
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
For these reasons, your computer may come with an optical 
drive.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical drive is set to play region 1 
(North America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc from 
another region, the drive will automatically change to play in 
the format of the other region. 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.
