Learning the Basics
Using the DVD-ROM/CD-RW multifunction drive
To clean a disc, wipe it from the center outwards (not in a 
circle) with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, moisten the cloth 
with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or rubbing 
alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before inserting it in the 
drive.
Using the DVD-ROM/CD-RW multifunction 
drive
Your computer may come with a DVD-ROM/CD-RW 
multifunction drive that allows you to:
Play prerecorded DVDs
Play prerecorded CDs
Read and write files (including music) to a CD-Recordable 
(CD-R) or CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) disc.
Two programs control the drive’s CD-RW features:
DirectCD
TM
 prepares a CD-R or CD-RW disc for file read and 
write operations. Its icon is located on the taskbar. You can also 
right-click this icon to eject a disc.
Easy CD Creator
TM
 4 copies music to an audio CD-R or CD-RW 
disc, and data to a data CD-R or CD-RW disc. Its icon is located 
on the desktop.
For details on how to use these programs, please refer to the 
respective Online Help menus.
CAUTION: Check the disc activity light when you use the 
DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive. Do not press the eject button, 
disconnect a drive or turn off the computer while the light is 
glowing. Doing so could damage the CD, DVD or drive.
