Getting DVD Support

For DVD support on your Notebook PC, you must select the DVD-ROM drive module at the time
of purchase instead of the standard CD-ROM or buy the DVD-ROM drive module from your
dealer at a later time. The DVD option includes a DVD drive module and drivers. In order to view
DVD titles, you must install the provided MPEG2 video decoder software and the DVD viewer
software included on the DVD module driver support CD.
NOTE: Since MPEG2 video decoding is done through software, a processor of at least 400MHz
Pentium II is recommended to provide real-time playback without frame skips. An MPEG2 hard-
ware decoder PCMCIA card is required on Notebook PCs with slower processors for smooth DVD
playback. Unlike the built-in modem and LAN, DVD support can be purchased at a later time.

Using the CD-ROM Drive

Compact Disc Read Only Memory (CD-ROM or CD) discs and equipment must be handled with care
because of the precise mechanics involved. Keep in mind the important safety instructions from your CD
suppliers. Unlike desktop CD drives, the Notebook PC uses a hub to hold the CD in place regardless of
the angle. When inserting a CD, it is important that the CD be pressed into the center hub or else the CD
drive tray cannot be closed.

Listening to Audio CD

Insert the audio CD and Windows will automatically open an audio player and begin playing. You can
adjust the volume through the function keys on the keypad or through double-clicking the Windows
speaker icon on the taskbar.
