Playing a DVD video
Once you have set up the DVD Player, you are ready to play a
DVD video. Playing a DVD video is as easy as playing a video
tape in a VCR. The directional controls operate the same way. To
play a DVD video:
1
Open the DVD Player by double-clicking the DVD video
icon on your desktop.
2
Insert a DVD video in the drive tray.
When your system recognizes the DVD video, it opens the
DVD Video Player Window.
3
Click Play to start the movie.
4
Adjust the volume control to a comfortable level and enjoy
the movie.
HINT: Resume/Suspend or Standby (Windows 98) modes
are not supported while your computer is accessing the
DVD-ROM drive. Do not use Resume, Suspend or Standby
when running a DVD movie or title.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When the DVD Player is playing a title,
the digital output port on the back of your computer will flash
a red light to indicate it is functioning properly.
Getting the sharpest picture
Your DVD Player is able to play movies using your entire
computer screen. However, picture quality may be important to
you. Your DVD Player displays the sharpest picture in a window
that is 720 x 480 pixels.
