Notes on CD and DVD media

Do not drop or bend the disc.

Do not touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a
disc may cause reading errors. Proper care of the disc is essential to maintain
its reliability. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray, as they may cause damage to the disc.

For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to wipe the
surface from the center out.

Some discs recorded at 20 or 24 bits may produce noise while playing. If you
have audio devices connected, this may cause damage to your hearing and
the speakers. Reduce the volume before playing such discs.

You cannot switch between LCD and TV if you press Fn+F8 when a DVD is
inserted in the optical drive.

When a TV is connected to a notebook that is set to factory settings, a part of the video
screen will not appear. To view the entire screen, adjust the display resolution to 640 x
480 and see “Selecting the Display Mode” for more information.

If you set the display resolution higher than the default setting (1280 x 1024, 24 bits),
the DVD video may not play properly.

(For models with SXGA+ panels) To view the DVD video clearly, set the display
resolution to 1024 x 768 dots (16 bits).

Do not switch the power saving modes while you are playing the DVD disc.

Do not switch between LCD and the external display while you are playing the
DVD video.

Change the setting to disable the screen saver and the virus checker (if it is
active).

Do not use memory-resident utility software to speed up disc access. This
may cause the notebook to malfunction.
