Disabling or enabling the TouchPad™
The TouchPad™ is enabled by default. To enable/disable the 
TouchPad, press 
Fn + F9
. For more information, see “Disabling or 
enabling the TouchPad” in the electronic user’s guide.
Alternately, you can disable only the tapping feature. If you disable 
tapping only, you can still use the TouchPad’s control buttons and 
move the pointer by sliding your finger on the TouchPad. To disable 
tapping only, use the Mouse Properties option in the Windows 
Control Panel.
Using the optical 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 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.
