Using the optical 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 an optical
drive.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical 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.
Your optical drive may look like this:
