Using optical discs (CDs and DVDs) An optical drive, such as a DVD-ROM drive, supports optical discs (CDs and DVDs). These discs store information, such as music, photos, and movies. DVDs have a higher storage capacity than CDs. Your optical drive can read standard CD and DVD discs. NOTE: Some of the optical drives listed may not be supported by your computer. The listed drives are not necessarily all of the supported optical drives. Some optical drives can also write to optical discs as described in the following table. Optical drive type Write to CD-RW Write to DVD±RW/R Write to DVD±RW DL Write label to LightScribe CD or DVD±RW/R DVD-ROM Drive No No No No DVD±RW SuperMulti Double- Yes Yes Yes Yes Layer LightScribe Drive*† *Double-layer (DL) discs can store more data than single-layer discs. However, double-layer discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many single-layer DVD drives and players. †LightScribe discs must be purchased separately. LightScribe creates a grayscale image similar to black-and-white photography. CAUTION: To prevent possible audio and video degradation, loss of information, or loss of audio or video playback functionality, do not initiate Standby or Hibernation while reading a CD or DVD, or writing to a CD or DVD. 14 Chapter 5 Optical drive
