Getting to Know Your iMac G5

Slot-load optical disc drive
Your computer has a slot-load DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo drive or a SuperDrive. Both drives can read
CD-ROM discs, photo CDs, standard audio discs, DVD discs, and DVD movies, and write music,
documents, and other digital files to CD-R and CD-RW discs. If you have a SuperDrive, you can also
burn your own iMovie creations on DVD using iDVD or write files and documents to blank DVD-R
discs using the Finder.
