Using CDs and DVDs
Your computer might have a DVD ROM drive or recordable DVD drive installed. DVD drives use

the drive can read DVD-ROM discs, DVD-R discs, DVD-RAM discs, DVD-RW discs, and all types of CDs,
such as CD-ROM discs, CD-RW discs, CD-R discs, and audio CDs. If you have a recordable DVD drive,
it can also record on DVD-R discs, DVD-RW discs, type II DVD-RAM discs, CD-RW standard and high
speed discs, and CD-R discs.
Follow these guidelines when using the DVD drive:

– Direct sunlight
• Do not insert any object other than a CD or DVD into the drive.
