Compaq 1800 manual Playing a DVD Film on a TV

DVD films can only be viewed on one display at a time. If two or more displays are active (Notebook display plus TV, for example), the film will show as a black box or blank screen on one of the displays. This

is normal.

Press and hold the Fn key while pressing the F3 key to switch the display from your Notebook to the TV.
