To achieve optimum performance when playing
DVD-ROM
disks, you should use the following
recommendations.
You can play DVDs using a DVD-ROM drive and the WinDVD software. See the help file in the WinDVD
software for details.
Your computer should not be connected to the port replicator while playing DVD movies or using DVD
applications.
Close any open application before playing a DVD-ROM movie.
When playing DVD movies on battery power, set the power management profile to DVD. With other
profiles, the movies can be choppy.
Do not switch the power saving modes while playing DVD video.
If the virus checker is active, you need to disable it.
Do not use resident disk utilities and resident utilities to speed up access of disks, because they may cause
unstable operation.
Make sure that the screensaver is deactivated.
Region codes indicators are labeled on the DVD disks to indicate in which region and what type of player
can play the disk. Unless a '2' or 'all' is labeled on your DVD disk or on the packaging, you cannot play
the disk on this player.
Do not try to change the region code settings of the DVD-ROM drive. Any troubles caused by changing
the region code settings of the DVD-ROM drive are out of warranty.
When a DVD video disk is inserted in the DVD-ROM drive, you cannot toggle between LCD and TV by
pressing
<Fn> + <F8>
*.
When a TV* is connected, a part of the video screen will not appear with the factory settings. Adjust the
display resolution to 640x480.
