Using the Computer

Support for Disc Types

You can use several different types of optical discs with your CD or DVD drives. The type of drive

in your computer and the type of disc you use determine what you can do. For example, you can listen to music, but not record it, if you use a CD-ROM disc in the CD drive. On the other hand, you can record and play back a DVD movie if you use a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc in the DVD+RW/+R drive.

A DVD+R disc is compatible with more DVD set-top players than a DVD+RW disc.

Using the Combo Drive

The combination drive is available on select models only. It combines the functions of two drives into one: either a DVD+RW/+R drive and a CD-RW drive or a DVD-ROM and a CD-RW drive.

When you insert a disc into the combo drive, the computer automatically detects the type of disc:

■If you insert a software program CD, it is available for use.

■If you insert a music CD, a window opens for the program that plays CDs. See “Listening to Music” on page 3–9.

■If you insert a DVD movie, the Video window and WinDVD control panel open. See “Playing a Movie” on page 3–10.
