Restart the system: remove the disc from the drive, and select

If you created the CD on a DVD/CD-RW combo-type drive,
try using a different media brand. Read and write quality may
vary for media.
If a DVD Movie Does Not Fill the Screen
Each side of a double-sided DVD has a different format (standard
or widescreen). In widescreen format, black bands appear at the
top and bottom of the screen. To view the standard format, flip
the disc over and play the other side.
If a DVD Does Not Play with Two Displays
If you are using the Extended Desktop (dual displays), move the
player window to the display selected as primary. If you are not
using Extended Desktop and both displays are active, press the
TV Now! One-Touch button at the top of the keyboard to switch
to one display.

Inserting a CD
