the following formats, depending on model purchased:
■ DVD-ROM
■ DVD-Video
■ DVD-R
■ DVD-RW
■ CD-Extra (CD+)
■ CD-DA
■ Photo CD™

Check the disc-in-use indicator when you use the Optical Media drive.
Do not press the eject button, disconnect a drive or turn off the computer
while the light is glowing. Doing so could damage the CD/DVD or the
drive. Optical Media drives and media are manufactured according to the
specifications of six marketing regions. When you purchase DVD media,
make sure it matches your drive, otherwise it will not play properly.
