DVD and video file playback
The following functions are not supported while your notebook is playing a DVD or any video file in AVI
(Audio Video Interleave) or MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) format:
> Switching among built-in display, external display, and simultaneous displays by pressing Fn+F5. You
must select the display before you start the DVD player or video file player.
> Changing the resolution or color quality of your display. If you want to change these settings, do it before
starting the DVD player or video file player.
In addition, some combinations of display resolution and color quality are not supported in DVD/AVI
playback. If you receive an error message when trying to play a DVD, reduce the color quality or display
resolution.
Using a TV set as a monitor
The computer's S-video (TV-out) port is optimized for DVD display. Performance may vary when using the
S-video port for other applications.
Before using a TV set as a monitor, switch the notebook's display resolution to 800 by 600 pixels as
follows:
1. Connect a video cable from the TV set to the notebook's S-video port (colored yellow) on the back of the
notebook. (You don't need to turn the notebook off to do this.)
2. Turn on the TV.
