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.
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 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.
