Playing a CD or DVD

Your computer has a DVD-ROM or multi-function drive that can read both
DVD-ROM and CD-ROM discs.
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. The
computer can play high-resolution video at up to 30 frames per second.
HINT: Your DVD-ROM or multi-function drive is designed to play region 1 (North
America) DVD-ROMs.
NOTE: For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play DVDs while
running the computer on AC power.
You use CD-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. For more information, see "CD/DVD control buttons" in the
electronic user's guide.
Drive components and control buttons
The DVD-ROM or multi-function drive is on the side of the computer. The
CD/DVD control buttons are located at the front edge of the computer and
can be accessed when the display panel is closed or open.
