Playing DVD Discs
To play a DVD-Video disc on your PowerBook, insert the DVD disc. DVD Player opens
automatically and starts playing the disc.
If you use S-video to connect your PowerBook to a TV so that you can watch a DVD-Video on
the TV screen, open Displays preferences, click Display, and select 720 x 480 NTSC (in the
United States) or 720 x 576 PAL (in Europe and other regions).
Note: You can move the menu bar to the TV screen using the Arrange pane of Displays
preferences.
You can easily connect your PowerBook to your stereo system. Use a miniplug-to-RCA cable
(not included) to connect the headphone port (f) on your PowerBook to the audio input
ports on your stereo.
Recording CD-R and CD-RW Discs

desktop.
