Using Your Computer

Playing DVD Discs

To play a DVD-Video disc on your PowerBook, insert the DVD disc. DVD Player opens
automatically. You’ll find DVD Player provides easy-to-use controls for starting,
stopping, and viewing DVDs.

If your PowerBook is connected to a TV so that you can watch a DVD-Video on the TV
screen, select 720 x 480 NTSC (in the United States) or 720 x 576 PAL (in Europe and
other regions) in the Displays pane of System Preferences.

You can easily connect your PowerBook to your stereo system. Use a miniplug-to-RCA
cable (not included) to connect the headphone out (f ) port on your PowerBook to the
audio input ports on your stereo.
