Using your DVD drive
Your computer comes with a DVD-ROM drive. This drive
can play back both prerecorded CDs and DVDs.
Compact discs (CDs) store up to 700 MB of data or music.
You use CD-ROMs to load and run software, and to access
reference material such as catalogs, as well as listen to music.
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.
