Using the Optical Disk Drive
Your computer, depending on your model, comes optionally with an optical disk drive
located on the right side of the computer in the Configurable Media Bay.
Depending on the model of your computer, the drive may be one of the following:
DVD drive – reads DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) disks in addition to CDs, audio CDs,
l
CD-R, and CD-RW disks.
CD-RW/DVD Combo drive – works both as a DVD drive and CD-RW drive.
l
DVD-RW Dual drive – aside from working as a Combo drive, it can also write to
l
DVD±RW (+R DL), DVD -R, DVD+R, DVD-RAM, CD-R & CDRW disks.
NOTE:
If you are using the optical disk drive for more than half an hour (e.g. playing a DVD title), it is
recommended to use the AC power source instead of the battery. Otherwise, the battery may
run out of power before you can complete your multimedia task.
CAUTION:
1. When inserting a disk, do not use force.
2. Ensure the disk is correctly inserted into the tray before closing the tray.
3. Do not leave the optical disk tray open unnecessarily. Also, avoid touching the lens in the
tray with your hand. If the lens becomes dirty, the drive may malfunction.
4. Do not wipe the lens using materials with rough surfaces (such as paper towels). Instead,
use a cotton swab to wipe the lens gently.
5.
FDA regulations require the following statement for all laser-based devices. Use of controls
or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure. The optical disk drive is classified as a Class 1 laser
product. This label is located on the optical disk drive.
