Basic Operations

Using optical disc drives

The illustrations in this section might differ slightly from your drive, but operation is the same for all optical disc drives. The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of disc-based programs. You can run either 12cm (4.72") or 8cm (3.15") discs without an adapter. An ATAPI interface controller is used for disc drive operation. When the computer is accessing a disc, an indicator on the drive illuminates.

Use the TOSHIBA DVD Player application to view DVD-Video discs.

If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs on CDRW/DVD-ROM drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.

If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.

If you have a DVD-ROM, you cannot write to CDs.
