Playing a CD or DVD Your computer may have a DVD-ROM, DVD-ROM/CD-RW, CD-ROM or CD-R/CD-RW drive that can read both DVDROM and CD-ROM discs. 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. The computer can play high-resolution video at up to 30 frames per second. NOTE: For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play DVDs while running on AC power rather than battery power. You use CD-ROMs to load and run software, and to access reference material such as catalogs, as well as listen to music. A special feature allows you to play audio CDs even when the computer is turned off. For more information, see "CD/DVD control buttons" on page 89. If your computer has a DVD-ROM/CD-RW multifunction drive, you can also write files (including music) to a CDRecordable (CD-R) or CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) disc.
