Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive
5.375 x 8.375 ver 3.1
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your DVD-ROM or multi-function drive is set to
play region 1 (North America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc
from another region, the drive will automatically change to play in
the format of the other region. The drive will allow you to change
regions four times. On the fourth change, the region will be “locked
in.” That is, the drive will only play DVDs from that last region. Note
that changing from region 1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is
counted as two changes.
For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play
DVDs while running the computer on AC power.
You use CD-ROMs to load and run software, and to access
reference material such as catalogs, as well as listen to music.
