Ejecting the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM tray

To eject the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM tray when the computer is turned on, press the CD-ROM eject button. When the power is off, you can eject the CD-ROM drive tray using the emergency eject hole. See page 102.

Playing DVD movies

Some models come standard with a DVD-equipped EasyLink DVD Combo Drive. To play DVD movies on your computer, follow these steps:

1.Eject the DVD-ROM tray and insert the DVDExpress disc; then close the DVD-ROM tray.

The setup program appears. If the setup program does not run automatically, click on Start, Run..., then type D:\SETUP.EXE and press Enter.

2.Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

Important! When you launch the DVD player for the first time, the program asks you to input the region code. DVD discs are divided into 6 regions. Once your computer is set to a region code, it will play DVD discs of that region only. You can set the region code a maximum of five times (including the first time ), afterwhich the last region code set will remain permanent. Refer to the table later in this section for DVD movie region code information.

3.Remove the DVDExpress disc from the DVD-ROM tray and insert a DVD movie of the desired region into the DVD-ROM drive.

4.Click on Start, Programs, Mediamatics DVDExpress.

5.Click on Mediamatics DVD Player.
