DVD movies can only be
viewed on one display at a
time. If two or more displays
are active (Notebook display
plus TV, for example), the
movie will show as a black box
or blank screen on one of the
displays. This is normal.
Press and hold the Fn key
while pressing the F3 key to
switch the display from your
Notebook to the TV.
For the location of audio
controls or connections on
your Notebook, see the “Status
Display and CD/DVD/MP3
Controls” in Chapter 2 of this
guide.
In order to have your DVD
picture and your audio directed
to a television and stereo, you
need two separate cables.
These cables can be purchased
at any location that specializes
in electronics or audio
equipment.
Playing a DVD Movie on a TV
Set up your TV-Out connection following the procedures in
the “Common Tasks” chapter of this guide.
1. Once your TV-Out connection is properly set up, to start
the DVD player, if the disc is already inserted in the DVD
drive, press the Play
ˆ
button on the status panel on the
front of your Notebook. The Compaq DVD Player control
panel opens and playback begins.
2. Press the Fn+F3 keys to switch the display from your
Notebook to the attached TV.
Note: You may need to press Fn+F3 more than once to transfer the
image to the TV. Refer to “Switching Between Displays” in the
“Common Tasks” chapter of this guide for more information.
3. You can switch the display from the TV back to your
Notebook at any time by pressing Fn+F3 again.
Setting Up Your Video and Audio
When you play a DVD, in order to have your DVD picture
directed to a TV, and your audio directed to a TV or stereo,
complete the following steps:
1. To direct your DVD picture from the Notebook to a TV,
connect one end of an S-video cable from the rear of your
notebook to the S-Video connector on your television.
Note: If you do not have S-video capability on your TV, a special adapter
may be purchased from an electronics store.
2. To direct your audio from the Notebook speakers, connect
one end of the audio cable from the headphone jack on the
front of the Notebook to the audio jack on your television
or stereo.
