Operating Basics Using optical disc drives The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optical disc drive. However, operation is the same for all other optical disc drives. The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD/HD DVD ROM-based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVD/HD DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD/HD DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD/HD DVDROM, an indicator on the drive glows. ❑ Use the TOSHIBA DVD Video Player application to view DVD-Video discs.(CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive model or DVD Super Multi drive model) ❑ Use the TOSHIBA HD DVD Video Player application to view DVD-Video discs or HD DVD-Video discs.(HD DVD-ROM model or HD DVD-R drive model) If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs on CDRW/DVD-ROM drive section for precautions on writing to CDs. If you have a DVD Super Multi drive or a HD DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi drive section for precautions on writing to CDs/DVDs. If you have a HD DVD-R drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVD/HD DVDs on HD DVD-ROM drives section for precautions on writing to CDs/DVDs/HD DVDs. OPERATING BASICS 4-12 User's Manual
