Using optical disc drives

The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROM- based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD-ROM, an indicator on the drive glows.

Use the DVD playback application to view DVD-Video discs.

If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi (+-R DL) drives section for precautions on writing to CDs/DVDs.
