Playing DVDs
You can play a DVD on your computer or TV. If you watch DVDs on your
computer, use either the AC adapter or the supplied battery for power.
To play a DVD on the computer using AC power
1 Close all open programs.
2 Insert the DVD into the optical drive.
3 Select a preinstalled DVD program in which to play the DVD. The
preinstalled DVD program launches the video automatically. See “Program
overview” for a description of your preinstalled DVD program.
Do not remove the optical drive when the computer is in a power saving
mode (Standby or Hibernate). Doing so may cause the computer to
malfunction.
✍
See the help guide included with the DVD program for detailed instructions.
Some discs recorded at 20 or 24 bits may produce noise while playing. If you
have audio devices connected, this may damage your hearing and the
speakers. Reduce the volume before playing a DVD.
Do not switch the power saving modes while you are playing the DVD.
Do not use memory-resident utility software to speed up disc access. This
may cause the computer to malfunction.
