Using the CD-RW/DVD-ROM or multi-function drive

For these reasons, your computer may come with a CD-RW/
DVD-ROM drive or multi-function drive.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your CD-RW/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.
For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you
play DVDs while running the computer on AC power.
