To Play Dvd Movies; To Create Or Copy Cds - Compaq AMC20493-KT5 Reference Manual

To play DVD movies

If your notebook is equipped with a DVD or other DVD readable drive, it also
includes DVD player software that lets you play DVD movies.
Select Start > All Programs > Multimedia > DVD Player > InterVideo WinDVD.
Hint
For best performance while playing movies on battery power, set the Control Panel
Power Scheme to Portable/Laptop.
Important
DVDs can have regional codes embedded in the disc data. These codes prevent
DVD movies from being played outside the region of the world in which they are
sold. If you get a region code error, you are trying to play a DVD intended for a
different region.
Most DVD drives let you change the region code only a limited number of times
(usually no more than four). When you reach this limit, your last change to the
region code will be hard-coded on the DVD drive, and will be permanent. Your
warranty does not cover the expense of correcting this situation. Refer to the help
for your DVD player software for details about setting region codes.

To create or copy CDs

If your notebook is equipped with a DVD/CD-RW combo drive, it also includes
software, such as Roxio Easy CD Creator, that allows you to copy or create CDs.
To create or copy CDs, follow the instructions that are included with the software.
Read and write quality may vary by media.
