CPU
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the brains of the computer; it processes the instructions 
of your system’s programs. The CPU is also known as the processor or microprocessor and can 
be found on the motherboard of your computer.
DC In
The Direct Current interface to which you connect your computer’s AC adapter.
Driver 
A driver is software enabling you to use hardware devices. For example, in order for you to 
be able to use a printer, you must first install its driver. Many drivers, such as the mouse 
driver, come with the operating system.
DVD 
Short for Digital Versatile Disc. A type of read-only CD with a minimum capacity of 4.7 GB 
(maximum capacity can reach 17 GB). This high storage power makes it the ideal medium for 
storing films.
DVD-R
A writable DVD, based on the DVD-R  format, that can be used to write a program or other 
data.
DVD+R

DVD+RW
The DVD+RW is a slightly different rewritable DVD format, backed by a group of companies 
known as the DVD+RW Consortium, which includes Sony. Its advantages include high-
compatibility, high capacity and  easy-to-use functionality. Like the DVD-RW, it can be 
rewritten about 1,000 times. However, a DVD+RW drive writes at a higher speed than a 
DVD-RW drive.
