92	Learning the Basics
	Using the DVD-ROM or Multifunction drive

For these reasons, your computer may come with a DVD- ROM or multifunction drive.

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.
