USING THE DVD PLAYER SOFTWARE
Starting a DVD Movie
1. Insert the DVD movie into the DVD drive of your
notebook. If the CD AutoRun feature activates,

DVD Player and click DVD Player. This will launch
the DVD movie.

mance dialog box and the movie will begin.
Opening the DVD Player Control Panel
In most DVD-ROMs, you have the option to alter how
the movie should play and what you wish to view. You
can do this by using the DVD Player control panel and
the mouse.
1. Right-click on the movie screen to open a drop-
down menu for options.
2. Select Panel Control, for all the controls available,
select Navigator Control for navigation controls
only, or select Angle Control to open a small box
that allows you to select different angles to view the
movie. From these controls, it is possible to add
sub-titles, speed up or slow down, even play movie
related games.
Using the DVD Player Control Panel
The DVD Player software allows you to watch the movie
much like a VCR player. You have the option to pause,
rewind, fast-forward and stop the movie at any point.
1. Right-click on the movie screen to open a drop-
down menu for options.

This will open the control panel into the bottom of
the screen.

to a specific portion of the movie, or the 9 button
to return to the opening screen.

forward to a specific portion of the movie, or the :
button to jump to the ending credits.
6. To Stop the movie, click the < button.
Exiting the DVD Player
1. Click on the r located in the upper right corner of
the title bar. This will open a DVD Player dialog box.
2. Click Yes to stop and exit the movie, or No to close
the DVD Player dialog box and return to the movie.
3. If you are watching a DVD movie in full screen or
cinema mode, right click on the movie and choose
exit from the pop-up menu.
USING THE DVD PLAYER ON
BATTERY POWER
Since DVD drives consume a lot of power, your overall
battery life will be shorter when operating the DVD drive
continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than
during standard operation. Many movies run-times are
longer than your notebook can support on a single
battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery
power you may need to swap in an additional, charged
battery, add a second modular battery in your Flexible
Bay or attach AC power during the movie to view it
in its entirety.

Prolonged use of the DVD drive, such as watching a
DVD movie, will substantially reduce your notebook’s
battery life.
