Apple APLLE MACBOOK manual Playing DVDs, Recording CD-R and CD-RW Discs

If you can’t eject the disc, quit any applications that might be using the disc and try again. If that doesn’t work, restart the computer while holding down the trackpad button.

Playing DVDs

To play a DVD-Video on your MacBook, 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 MacBook 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 MacBook to your stereo system. Use a miniplug-to-RCA cable (not included) to connect the headphone (f ) port on your MacBook to the audio input ports on your stereo.

Recording CD-R and CD-RW Discs

Your MacBook can record data to CD-R and CD-RW discs. If you have a SuperDrive, you can record your own digital movies on blank recordable DVD±R and DVD±RW discs. You can also record other kinds of digital data, such as backing up files onto a recordable DVD disc.
