Playing a DVD
To achieve optimum performance when playing DVDs, it is recommended that
your computer not be connected to the port replicator while playing DVD movies
or using DVD applications. Close any open applications before playing a DVD
movie.
❑ You can play DVDs using a DVD-ROM drive and the Media Bar software.
See the online manual that came with the Media Bar software for details.
If you have connected a TV, follow the instructions in “Selecting the Display
Mode” in the online manual Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook.
When a TV is connected, a part of the video screen will not appear with the
factory setting. Adjust the display resolution to 1024 x 768 as described in the
online manual “Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook” .
✍
When playing DVD movies on battery power, set the power management profile to
DVD. With other profiles, the movies are choppy. As an alternative, you can set the
power management profile to Automatic Profile Selection, which will cause the DVD
profile to be selected automatically whenever you insert a DVD. See “Controlling
Power Management” in the online manual “Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook” for
information on how to set the power management profile.
Some discs recorded at 20 or 24 bits may produce noise while playing. If you have
audio devices connected, this may cause damage to your hearing and the speakers.
Reduce the volume before playing such discs.
You cannot switch between LCD and TV if you press Fn+F8 when a DVD is inserted in
the DVD-ROM drive.
