HP Pavilion N5415 Information Note page 2

In the BIOS Setup utility, infrared (IR) communication is by default disabled. When you enable
IR communication, the IR mode selected by default is FIR (Fast Infrared).
DVD and video file playback
While you are playing a DVD disc--or while you are playing any video files in the AVI (Audio
Video Interleave) or MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) format--these functions are not
supported:
> Switching among built-in display, external display, and simultaneous displays using Fn+F5.
Select the display before starting the DVD player.
> Modifying the resolution or color depth of your display. If you want to change these settings,
do it before starting the DVD player.
> Dragging the DVD/AVI playback window to the secondary display when using dual monitors
in Windows 98. DVD/AVI playback is supported only on the primary display.
Some combinations of color depth and resolution are not supported in DVD/AVI playback. If you
receive an error message with a DVD, reduce color depth or display resolution.
If your hp notebook has a DVD drive, you may have to manually install the DVD movie player. To do this,
run c:\hp\programs\dvd\setup.exe.
Fn hot keys on an external keyboard
When using combination hot keys (shortcut key sequences) on an external keyboard—which is
equivalent to using the Fn key on the HP notebook keyboard--use the Ctrl and Alt keys on the left
side of the external keyboard. For example, Left Ctrl+Left Alt+F1 on an external keyboard
decreases the display's brightness.
These features are not functional when using an external USB keyboard.
Hibernate mode
In Windows 2000, you can manually initiate hibernate mode by pressing Fn+F12.
In Windows 2000 and Windows ME you can manually initiate hibernation mode by clicking
Start, Shut Down, Hibernate.
In Windows 98 manual initiation of hibernate mode is not available—by default except that, if
you wish, you can modify the default setting for the lid, power switch, or the standby button to
initiate hibernate mode instead.
In Windows 2000 and Windows ME you can set a timeout to automatically enter hibernation
mode.
For Windows 2000, Windows 98 and Windows ME the hibernate mode occurs automatically
when battery power reaches a critically low level. It is possible to lower the critical low battery
setting, however, HP does not recommend that you lower the defaults. Lowering the default
values could cause your unit to not hibernate properly and could result in loss of unsaved data.
