Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function 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 the prior reasons, your computer may come with a DVD-
ROM drive or multi-function drive.
NOTE

DVD-ROM or multi-function drive components

The DVD-ROM or multi-function drive is located on the left
side of the computer. The Media Control buttons are located
above the keyboard and can be accessed when the display
panel is open.
Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive
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 will automatically
change to play in the format of the other region. The drive will
allow you to change regions four times. On the fourth change,
the region will be "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.
