Playing Media on the Optical Drive
There are three ways to operate the optical drive:
• Using the Optical Player Software
• Using the Media Player Buttons
• Using the Desktop Control Panel
Using the Optical Player Software
Starting a DVD Movie
1 Insert the DVD into the notebook’s optical drive. If the AutoPlay feature activates, skip Step 2.
2 The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you want the
system to do when discs are inserted (e.g., start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you make a selection,
you will receive the same prompt whenever you insert a disc.
3 Click OK to close the About DVD Player Performance dialog box and the movie will begin. After you make your
selections, the PowerDVD control panel will appear whenever you insert a disc.
Opening the DVD/CD-RW Drive Control Panel
With most DVD-ROMs, you have the option of altering how the movie should play and what you wish to
view. You can do this by using the DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive control panel and the mouse.
To open a dropdown menu for options, right-click on the movie screen.
Using the Optical Drive Control Panel
The PowerDVD optical drive software allows you to watch the movie much like a VCR player. You have
the option to pause, rewind, fast-forward and stop the movie at any point.
