Using the DVD Drive
Your computer comes with a DVD drive, usually configured as drive D.
The drive uses removable 5.25-inch silver discs, which look like standard
music CDs. It is an ideal medium to use for distributing multimedia
because of the huge amount of data that a disc can store.
Depending on the model, your drive is one of the following:
Combo drive can work both as a DVD drive (reading DVD discs in
addition to CDs, audio CDs and CD-R/-RW discs), and also as a CD
recorder (writing to CD-R/-RW discs).
DVD Dual drive besides the Combo drive function, can write to
DVD+R/+RW/-R/-RW discs.
Super Multi drive besides the Combo drive function, can write to
DVD+R/+RW/-R/-RW and DVD-RAM discs.
CAUTION:
When inserting a disc, do not use force.
Make sure that the disc is correctly inserted into the tray, and then close the tray.
Do not leave the DVD tray open. Also, avoid touching the lens in the tray with your
hand. If the lens becomes dirty, the DVD drive may malfunction.
Do not wipe the lens using materials with rough surface (such as paper towel).
Instead, use a cotton swab to gently wipe the lens.
FDA regulations require the following statement for all laser-based devices:
“Caution, Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.”
NOTE: The DVD drive is classified as a Class 1 laser product. This label is located on
the DVD drive.
