41 Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive
❖ To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to
left.
Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display screen,
moving your cursor across the screen often means having to move
your finger several times across the TouchPad in the preferred
direction.
Primary and secondary control buttons
When you want to click or choose an item, use the TouchPad
to move the pointer/cursor to the item. Once the pointer/
cursor is positioned, you can click it into place by either
double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control buttons.
The control buttons are adjacent to the TouchPad and are
used like the buttons on a mouse. The primary control button
is the left one and corresponds to the left mouse button. To
double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid
succession.
The function of the secondary button depends on the program
you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse
button. Check your program’s documentation to find whether
it uses the secondary mouse button.
Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function 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
wide-screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround
sound, multiple camera angles, and interactive menus.
For these reasons, your computer may come with a DVD-ROM
drive or multi-function drive.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your DVD-ROM or multi-function 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.
