Using The Dvd-Rom Or Multi-Function Drive - Toshiba Portégé M100 Series User Manual

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 these reasons, your computer may come with a DVD-
ROM drive or multi-function drive.
NOTE
You use CD-ROMs or DVD-ROMs to load and run software,
and to access reference material such as catalogs, as well as
listen to music.
If the drive is not currently installed in the Slim SelectBay,
follow the instructions in
on page
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.
NOTE: For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that
you play DVDs while running on AC power rather than battery
power.
