Optical disc drives
The computer is configured with a DVD Super Multi drive. A Serial ATA
interface controller is used for 12cm (4.72") and 8cm (3.15") CD/DVD
operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD, an indicator on the
drive glows. For further information on loading and unloading discs, please
refer to the Writing CD/DVD on DVD Super Multi drives section in Chapter 4,
Operating Basics.

according to the specifications of six marketing regions. When you
purchase DVD-Video, make sure it matches your drive, otherwise it will not
play properly.
