Using the PC

Recording with the

DVD Writer Drive

The DVD Writer drive, available on select models only, plays movie DVDs and music CDs, reads data CDs and DVDs, and records files to DVD+RW, DVD-R, CD-R, and CD-RW discs.

There are two types of DVD disc drives: DVD+RW/+R and DVD-R/RW. DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD-RAM discs do not work in the DVD+RW/+R drive.

If your PC has a DVD Writer drive, a printed guide is included.
