Disconnecting the TV from the computer
Simply unplug the audio-video (AV) cable from the A/V OUT jack on the
computer.
The Fn+F8 key combination will not work once a DVD is inserted into the
optical drive. Switching the display while a DVD is playing may cause the
computer to malfunction, and you may need to restart the DVD software.
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.
