42 Using the optical drive Using the optical drive Optical storage is a popular medium for software, music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a significant increase in data storage and support features that were not available on previous video platforms. These features include wide-screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround sound, multiple camera angles, and interactive menus. TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical drive is set to play region 1 (North America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc from another region, the drive will automatically change to play in the format of the other region. The drive will allow you to change regions four times. On the fourth change, the region will be "locked in." That is, the drive will only play DVDs from that last region. Note that changing from region 1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes. For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play DVDs while running the computer on AC power. When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software that came with your computer.

Using the optical drive
Optical storage is a popular medium for software, music, and video.
Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a significant increase in data
storage and support features that were not available on previous
video platforms. These features include wide-screen movies,
multiple language tracks, digital surround sound, multiple camera
angles, and interactive menus.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical drive is set to play region 1 (North
America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc from another region,
the drive will automatically change to play in the format of the other
region. The drive will allow you to change regions four times. On the
fourth change, the region will be “locked in.” That is, the drive will
only play DVDs from that last region. Note that changing from region
1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.
For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play
DVDs while running the computer on AC power.
When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software that came
with your computer.
