Learning the Basics
Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
If a DVD-ROM drive or multi-function drive is not currently 
installed in the Slim SelectBay, follow the instructions in 
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your DVD-ROM or multi-function drive is 
set to play region 1 (North America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a 
DVD disc from another region, the drive automatically changes 
to play in the format of the other region. The drive allows you 
to change regions four times. On the fourth change, the region 
is “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 CD and DVD performance, it is recommended 
that you play CDs and DVDs while running the computer on 
AC power.
You use CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs to load and run 
software, and to access reference material such as catalogs, as 
well as listen to music. A special feature allows you to play 
audio CDs even when the computer is turned off.
