CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive
Your computer may come with a CD-ROM, CD-RW or a DVD-ROM
drive. This drive is located on the front panel of your computer. The
CD-ROM drive allows you to play different types of compact discs (CDs).
The DVD-ROM drive allows you to play not only old CD-ROMs, CD-I
discs, and video CDs, but new digital video discs (DVDs) as well.
Meanwhile the CD-RW drive allows you to record the CD-RW
(recordable and rewritable) discs.
CDs and DVDs, like diskettes, are also compact, lightweight, and easy
to carry around. However, they are more delicate than diskettes and
must be handled with extra care.
To insert a CD/DVD into your computer’s CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW
drive:
1. Gently push the eject button located on the front panel.
Caution! Avoid using low quality CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs,
because they could be damaged by your computer’s CD-ROM/
DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive.
