S G
ETUP UIDE
CD or DVD Drive
Problem
The disc is inserted
improperly.
The DVD drive takes
longer to start
because it must
determine the type of
media being played
before it can start.
The disc is dirty.
DVD playback
requires large
amounts of
processing power;
therefore, the system
cannot process other
tasks simultaneously
at maximum
performance.
Power is not on.
Copyright material at
beginning of film
causes momentary
corruption.
Solution
Reinsert the CD with the label
facing up and verify the disc is
securely snapped down on
the spindle.
Wait at least 30 seconds to
let the DVD drive determine
the type of media being
played. If disc still does not
start, refer to the solution for
related problems.
Clean the disc with a CD
cleaning kit available in most
computer stores.
To provide maximum
performance, close all other
programs while playing DVD
media. It may also be
necessary to restart Windows
to free all resources.
Manually eject the disc
(see "Using Your CD or
DVD Drive" in this guide)
or turn on your Notebook.
Wait a few seconds for video
corruption to clear up. If it
does not clear up, then stop
and restart the DVD film.
