To achieve optimum performance when playing DVD-ROM discs, do the following:
You can play DVDs using a DVD-ROM drive and the WinDVD software. See the help file on the WinDVD
software for details.
Your computer should not be connected to the port replicator while playing DVD movies or using DVD
applications.
Close any open application before playing a DVD-ROM movie.
When playing DVD movies on battery power, set the power management profile to DVD. With other
profiles, the movies can be choppy.
Do not switch the power saving modes while playing DVD videos.
If the virus checker is active, you need to disable it.
Do not use resident disc utilities to speed up access of discs, because they may cause unstable operation.
Make sure that the screensaver is deactivated.
Depending on the display setup properties you selected, you may use the
<Fn>+<F>
command to expand
the screen to full screen size.
Region codes indicators are labeled on the DVD discs to indicate in which region and what type of player
can play the disc. Unless a '2' or 'all' is labeled on your DVD or on the packaging, you cannot play the
disc on this player.
Do not try to change the region code settings of the DVD-ROM drive. Any troubles caused by changing
the region code settings of the DVD-ROM drive, are out of warranty.
When a DVD video disc is inserted in the DVD-ROM drive, you cannot toggle between LCD and TV by
pressing
<Fn>+<F8>
.
When a TV is connected, a part of the video screen will not appear with the factory settings. Adjust the
display resolution to 640x480.
