Media control buttons are located above the keyboard and can

Media control buttons
The control buttons above the computer keyboard let you
play audio CDs when the computer is on. You can also use
them to play CDs and DVDs when the computer is off using
the QosmioPlayer application. For more information on
playing CDs and DVDs when the computer is powered off,
see "Using QosmioPlayer" on page
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical drive is set to play region 1
(North America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc from
another region, the drive will automatically change to play in
the format of the other region. The drive will allow you to
change regions four times. On the fourth change, the region
will be "locked in." That is, the drive will only play DVDs from
that last region. Note that changing from region 1 to region 2
and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.
Please note: Region code is not applicable to HD DVD.
For optimum HD DVD and/or DVD performance, it is
recommended that you play DVDs while running the computer
on AC power.
