To play DVD-ROM discs (only on models equipped with a DVD-ROM drive)
To achieve optimum performance when playing DVD-ROM discs, you should use the
following recommendations.
Your computer should not be connected to the port replicator while playing DVD
movies or using DVD applications.
Close any open applications 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 are choppy.
Depending on the display setup properties you selected, you may use Fn+F command to expand the screen
to full screen size.
Region codes indicators are labeled on the DVD discs to indicate in which region and what type of player can
play the disc. Unless a “2” or “ALL” is labeled on your DVD disc or on the packaging, you cannot play the
disc on this player.
When a DVD video disc is inserted in the DVD-ROM drive, you cannot toggle between LCD and TV by
pressing Fn+ F8.
For additional information on playing DVD video discs, please refer to the Media Bar Help.
