Using the DVD-ROM or Multifunction 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 a DVD-
ROM drive or 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.

Check the disk/disc activity light when you use the DVD-ROM
or 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.

For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you
play DVDs while running on AC power rather than battery
power.

You use CD-ROMs to load and run software, and to access
reference material such as catalogs, as well as listen to music.

HINT: Your DVD-ROM or Multifunction drive is designed to
play Region 1 (North America) DVD-ROMs.
