Operating Basics
Using the optical disc drive
The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-based
programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CDs without an
adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD operation. When
the computer is accessing a CD/DVD, an indicator on the drive glows.
Refer also to the
Writing CD/DVD with the DVD Super Multi drive section
for precautions on writing to CD/DVD.
