Apple PowerBook G4 (15-inch, Double Layer Super Drive) - Manual (Page 48)

48 Chapter 3 Using Your PowerBook
 Write music, documents, and other digital files to CD-R and CD-RW discs
 Play DVD movies and use most DVD discs (single- and double-layer)
 Record information on blank single-layer DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW discs; and
on single- and double-layer DVD+R discs
Important: The SuperDrive in your PowerBook supports standard circular 12 cm discs.
Irregularly shaped discs or discs smaller than 12 cm are not supported. Noncircular
discs can become lodged in the drive.
Note: If you ordered a PowerBook with a Combo drive, be aware that the drive can
perform all the functions of the SuperDrive, except record information on any type of
DVD disc.
Inserting a CD or DVD Disc
To install or use software from a CD or DVD disc:
1 With the computer turned on, insert the disc (with the label facing up) into the drive
slot until you feel the drive catch the disc and take it the rest of the way in.
You might need to insert the disc nearly all the way in before the drive takes it the rest
of the way. This is normal.
Note: Some DVD discs are two-sided. Your optical drive can read both sides of a
double-sided disc.
