Playing a DVD

A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has greater data capacity. Because of this increased capacity, full-length movies, several albums of music, or several gigabytes of data can fit on a single disc. If your computer has a DVD drive, you can play DVDs with the InterVideo DVD Player program or Windows Media Player. For more information about playing DVDs, click Help in the DVD player program.

To play a DVD:

1 Make sure that the speakers are turned on or headphones are plugged in and that the volume is turned up.

2 Turn off your screen saver and standby timers.
