For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play
DVDs while running the computer on AC power.
When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software that came
with your computer.
Your computer may come with a tray-type optical disc drive or a
slot-type optical disc drive. Your drive will look similar to one of
the sample illustrations below.

(Sample Illustration) Slot-type optical disc drive
Drive in-use indicator light—Indicates when the drive is in use.
Eject button—Press to release the disc tray (in a tray-type drive) or
an inserted disc (in a slot-type drive).
Do not press the eject button or turn off the computer while the drive
in-use indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or
the drive.
When the disc tray on a tray-type drive is open, be careful not to
touch the lens or the area around it. Doing so could cause the drive
to malfunction.
Manual eject hole (available on certain models)—Use if you
need to release the disc tray (in a tray-type drive) when the power is
off. Use a straightened paper clip or other narrow object to press the
manual eject button located inside the hole.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
