To work with CDs and DVDs

If you have a DVD drive module, you can play DVD movies—see "To play DVD
movies" on page 75. If you have a CD-RW drive module, you can write and copy CDs—
see "To create or copy CDs" on page 76.
For best performance while playing movies on battery power, set the SpeedStep setting
to Max Performance (Windows 2000), or set the Control Panel power scheme to
Portable/Laptop (Windows XP). See "How the computer manages power automatically"
on page 50.
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). Please note that 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
HP 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.
