Playing Media on the Optical Drive

There are three ways to operate the optical drive:

•Using the Optical Player Software

•Using the Media Player Buttons

•Using the Desktop Control Panel

Using the Optical Player Software

PRIOR TO USING YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE, YOU MUST INSTALL THE OPTICAL PLAYER SOFTWARE. FOR DETAILS ON USING YOUR OPTICAL PLAYER SOFTWARE, REFER TO THE SOFTWARE HELP FILE.

Starting a DVD Movie

1Insert the DVD into the notebook’s optical drive. If the AutoPlay feature activates, skip Step 2.

2The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g., start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you make a selection, you will receive the same prompt whenever you insert a disc.

3Click OK to close the About DVD Player Performance dialog box and the movie will begin. After you make your selections, the PowerDVD control panel will appear whenever you insert a disc.

Opening the DVD/CD-RW Drive Control Panel

With most DVD-ROMs, you have the option of altering how the movie should play and what you wish to view. You can do this by using the DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive control panel and the mouse.

To open a dropdown menu for options, right-click on the movie screen.

Using the Optical Drive Control Panel

The PowerDVD optical drive software allows you to watch the movie much like a VCR player. You have the option to pause, rewind, fast-forward and stop the movie at any point.
