Playing CDs or DVDs
You can play CDs using Windows Media Player, and you can play DVDs using Windows Media
Player and CyberLink PowerDVD.
A standard Compact Disc (CD) holds an entire album of digital songs, and can be played on a CD
player or your computer’s CD drive.
A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has greater data capacity. Because
of this increased capacity, full-length movies or several albums of music can fit on a single disc.
DVDs can be played on a DVD player or a DVD drive-equipped computer.
Important
Some music CDs have copy protection software. You may not be able to play these
CDs on your computer.
Important
To watch a DVD you must have a DVD drive in your computer. If you do not have
a DVD drive and would like to add an internal or external drive, visit the Accessory Store
at accessories.gateway.com.
