RealPlayer can access all the compatible CD/DVD media disc drives installed
on your computer, but only one at a time. The active drive is the one currently in use, or selected to be used, by RealPlayer.
The currently active drive appears as part of the media disc drive indicator 
located in the upper right of the CD/DVD
page.
RealPlayer monitors all available drives, not just the active drive. It will detect when a media disc is inserted and will switch the active drive to the drive with the newly inserted disc. For additional information, see the options for "When Inserting a CD" in CD Preferences.
To change the active drive, select a drive from those displayed in the Play menu, or click 
next to the drive indicator , then
select the desired drive from the drop-down list.
Note: Not all services and features are available in all countries. Services and features will be added as they become available.
