Ejecting a Disc From the DVD Drive

You eject a disc by dragging the disc icon to the Trash or pressing the Media Eject ( ) key on the keyboard.

If you can’t eject the disc, try the following:

mQuit any applications that may be using the disc and try again.

mRestart your computer and hold down the trackpad button during startup until the disc ejects.

mIf that does not work, insert the end of a paper clip into the manual eject hole (located on the far right side of the drive slot) to press the internal eject button. To use the manual eject button, your PowerBook must be turned on.

Playing DVD Discs

You can also use the DVD drive to play DVD-Video discs on your PowerBook. Insert the DVD disc and then choose Apple DVD Player from the Apple (K) menu.

If you want to use S-video to connect your PowerBook to a TV (see page 46) 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 Resolution portion of the Control Strip. Then select Best for Video from the TV Mirroring portion of the Control Strip.

Note: When your PowerBook is connected to an external monitor, DVD playback is only available in extended desktop mode. You can drag the DVD window between the external monitor and the built-in display.
