Using the optical drive 35 The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse button ("right-clicking"). Check your program's documentation to determine whether it uses the right mouse button. Using the optical 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 widescreen 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.
