Inserting and removing CDs and DVDs CAUTION: Use only standard-shaped (circular) discs in the drive. Using non-standard discs, such as heart-shaped discs or business-card discs, may damage the drive. To insert a CD or DVD: 1 Remove the CD or DVD from its case, holding the disc edges or center hole only. 2 With the computer turned on, slide the disc into the slot drive with the label facing to the right. NOTE: On a double-sided DVD, read the text around the center hole to determine which side (A versus B or Standard versus Widescreen) to play. Slide the disc into the drive with the label facing left for the side that you want to play. To remove a CD or DVD: 1 With the computer turned on, press the Eject button. 2 Holding on to the disc edges or center hole only, slide the disc out of the slot drive. 3 Place the disc in its case. Compatibility Information An important feature of a DVD Writer/CD Writer drive is its high level of compatibility with other optical drives and CD and DVD players: The CDs that you create play in most home and car stereos as well as most computer DVD-ROM and CD-ROM drives. The DVDs that you create are compatible with some DVD video players and with most computer DVD-ROM drives. CD-R discs are more compatible with home and car stereos than CD-RW discs are. Blu-ray disc drives are required to play Blu-ray discs. Blu-ray disc drives can read Blu-ray discs and record to Blu-ray discs. HD disc drives are capable of playing HD discs but not recording HD data to disc. The DVD Writer/CD Writer drive is able to read from and record to almost every type of optical disc. Writing speed rates for the DVD Writer/CD Writer drive are fast, allowing quick recording times. 26 HP Firebird Desktop Essentials (Features may vary by model)
