Playing a DVD Film on a TV | HP 14XL455 specification

DVD films can only be viewed on one display at a time. If two or more displays are active (Notebook display plus TV, for example), the film will show as a black box or blank screen on one of the displays. This is normal.

Press and hold the Fn key while pressing the F3 key to switch the display from your Notebook to the TV.

For the location of audio controls or connections on your Notebook, see the “Status Display and CD/DVD/MP3 Controls” in Chapter 2 of this guide.

In order to have your DVD picture and your audio directed to a television and stereo, you need two separate cables. These cables can be purchased at any location that specialises in electronics or audio equipment.
