80 Learning the Basics Using the DVD-ROM or Multifunction drive Using the DVD-ROM or Multifunction drive Optical storage has become the preferred medium for software, music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a significant increase in data storage and support features that are not available on any other video platform. These features include wide-screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround sound, multiple camera angles, and interactive menus. For these reasons, your computer may come with a DVD-ROM drive or Multifunction drive that allows you to: ❖ Play prerecorded DVDs ❖ Play prerecorded CDs ❖ Read and write files (including music) to a CDRecordable (CD-R) or CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) disc ❖ Read and write files (including music) to a DVDRecordable (DVD-R) or DVD-ReWritable (DVD-RW) disc ❖ DVD-RAM CAUTION: Check the disc activity light when you use the DVDROM or Multifunction drive. Do not press the eject button, disconnect a drive or turn off the computer while the light is glowing. Doing so could damage the CD, DVD or the drive. NOTE: For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play DVDs while running on AC power rather than battery power.
