USING THE OPTICAL PLAYER SOFTWARE
Starting a DVD Movie
1. Insert the DVD movie into the optical drive of your
notebook. If the CD AutoRun feature activates,
skip Step 2.
2. The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-
RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you
want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g.,
start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you
make a selection, you will receive the same prompt
whenever you insert a disc.
3. Click
OK
to close the About DVD Player
Performance dialog box and the movie will begin.
Opening the DVD/CD-RW Drive Control Panel

how the movie should play and what you wish to view.

Drive control panel and the mouse.

menu for options.
2. Select
View ->

rewind, fast-forward and stop the movie at any point.

button to rewind
to a specific portion of the movie, or the
button
to return to the opening screen.

forward to a specific portion of the movie, or the
button to jump to the ending credits.
4. To Stop the movie, click the
button.
