Point
• CD-ROM is a compact disc (CD) that stores PC information (such as characters) rather than
music. ROM stands for Read Only Memory. This PC can read data from CD-ROMs but cannot
write data, except when CD-R/RW is selected as a custom-made option.
• This PC can use CDs having any of the following marks. Do not use CDs without a mark.
Otherwise, a fault may occur.
An additional application may be necessary to use particular types of CDs.
* ASTERISKED CDS CAN ONLY BE USED ON CD-R/RW DRIVES TO WRITE DATA.
