Operating Basics

Using optical media drives

The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of
CD/DVD-ROM-based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or
8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is
used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a
CD/DVD-ROM, an indicator on the drive glows and the Ultra Slim Bay
indicator glows.
Use the WinDVD application to view DVD-Video discs.
