Playing DVDs
To play a DVD-Video disc on your PowerBook, insert the DVD disc. DVD Player opens
automatically. You’ll find DVD Player provides easy-to-use controls for starting,
stopping, and viewing DVDs.
If your PowerBook is connected to a TV so that you can watch a DVD-Video on the TV
screen, select 720 x 480 NTSC (in the United States) or 720 x 576 PAL (in Europe and
other regions) in the Displays pane of System 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
Your PowerBook can record data to CD-R and CD-RW discs.
To record data on a CD-R or CD-RW disc:
1 Insert a blank disc into the optical drive.
2 In the dialog that appears, enter a name for the disc. An icon for the disc appears on
the desktop.
3 Drag files and folders to the disc icon.
4 Click the Burn Disc icon beside the disc name in the Finder sidebar.
You can also record music on CD-R and CD-RW discs right from your iTunes library.
To record music from your iTunes library:
1 Click the iTunes icon in the Dock.
2 Select the playlist you want to record.
3 Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc.
4 At the top of the iTunes window, click Burn CD.
Important: If your battery runs down when you are burning a CD, the burn can fail and
you will not be able to use the CD disc again. To prevent this, always use your power
adapter when burning a CD.
