To play a DVD

To play a DVD, you may use the optical disc drive and the preinstalled
WinDVD® software. For more information on WinDVD, see the Help menu in
the WinDVD application.

Your optical disc drive can read most DVD-R media. When you are ready to play
a DVD, read the suggestions below to maximize your video viewing experience.

When playing a DVD on battery power, set the power management profile to
DVD. You can also set the power management profile to Automatic Profile
Selection if the display is not clear when using other profiles.

Manually removing a disc

Before you use the optical disc drive to play a DVD, quit any open applications.

Automatic Profile Selection sets the power management profile to DVD whenever a
DVD is inserted. See “Controlling Power Management” for more information.
