Using optical media drives
The illustrations in this section might differ slightly from your drive, but, operation
is the same for all optical media drives. The full-size drive provides high-perfor-
mance execution of CD/DVD-ROM-based programs. You can run either 12 cm
(4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller
is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD,
an indicator on the drive glows.
NOTE: Use the WinDVD 4 application to view DVD-Video discs.
If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs on CD-RW/
DVD-ROM drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD-R/-RW drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVDs on DVD-R/-RW
drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD Multi drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Multi
drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
