Using the optical drive
Optical storage has become the preferred medium for software, 
music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a 
significant increase in data storage and support features that are not 
available on any other video platform. These features include wide-
screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround sound, 
multiple camera angles, and interactive menus.
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.
When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software that came 
with your computer.
Your optical drive may look like this:

Do not press the eject button or turn off the computer while the drive 
in-use indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or 
the drive.
When the disc tray is open, be careful not to touch the lens or the 
area around it. Doing so could cause the drive to malfunction.
