Using the DVD function
To achieve optimum performance when playing DVD-ROM discs, you should follow these
recommendations.
❑
You can play DVDs using the DVD-ROM drive and the WinDVD software. See the help file on the WinDVD
software for details.
❑
Your computer should not be connected to the port replicator while playing DVD movies or using DVD
applications.
❑
Close all open applications before playing a DVD-ROM movie.
❑
When playing DVD movies on battery power, set the power management profile to DVD. With other
profiles, the movies can be choppy.
❑
Do not switch power saving modes while playing a DVD video.
❑
Do not use resident disc utilities or resident utilities to speed up the access of discs, because they may cause
the system to become unstable.
❑
Make sure that the screensaver is deactivated.
❑
Depending on the display setup properties you selected, you may use the <Fn>+<F> command to expand
the screen to full screen size.
❑
Region codes indicators are labelled on the DVD discs to indicate in which region and on what type of
player you can play the disc. Unless a '2' (Europe belongs to region '2') or 'all' (this means that you can
play this DVD everywhere in the world) is labelled on your DVD disc or on the packaging, you cannot play
the disc on this player.
❑
Do not try to change the region code settings of the DVD-ROM drive. Any difficulties caused by changing
the region code settings of DVD-ROM drive are out of warranty.
❑
When a DVD video disc is inserted in the DVD-ROM drive, you cannot toggle between LCD and TV by
pressing <Fn>+<F8>.
❑
When a TV is connected, a part of the video screen will not appear with the factory settings. Adjust the
display resolution to 640x480.
