To insert the DVD-ROM drive
You do not need to shut down the computer to insert the DVD-ROM drive into the
drive bay. You can also insert the DVD-ROM drive while the computer is in power
saving mode.
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.
