To play a DVD

When you play DVDs on a television connected to the Mini Docking Station
(PCGA-PSX1), a part of the video screen will not appear with the factory setting.
Adjust the display resolution to 640 x 480 as described in "Selecting the Display
Mode" on page 154 in the online manual "Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook" .
When playing DVD movies on battery power, set the Power Management profile to
DVD profile. With other profiles, the movies are choppy. As an alternative, you can set
the Power Management profile to Automatic Profile Selection, which will select the
DVD profile automatically whenever you insert a DVD. See "Controlling Power
Management" on page 147 in the online manual "Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook"
for information on how to set the Power Management profile.
Do not switch the Display Mode or the power saving mode while you are playing a
DVD.
Before you play the DVD, change the settings to disable the screen saver and the virus
checker (if it is active).
Refrain from using any resident utilities to speed up disc access because this may
cause the system to malfunction.
