Using optical disc drives

The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROM-
based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15")
CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for
CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a
CD/DVD-ROM, an indicator on the drive glows.

If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer also to the

Writing CD/DVDs on

DVD Super Multi (+-R DL) drives

section for precautions on writing to

CDs/DVDs.

Loading discs
