Starting a DVD

CD and DVD Software

Starting a DVD

In addition to the instructions in the WinDVD Player Help file, the following information may be helpful:

■Instructions for inserting a DVD drive into the MultiBay and for inserting a DVD into the drive are on this CD, in the Hardware Guide, “Drives” section.

■General information about using DVDs, including important instructions for avoiding Standby and Hibernation while playing DVDs, is in “Using CDs and DVDs,” first in this section.

■If your system includes an optional port replicator, dock or undock the notebook before starting a DVD (not while playing a DVD).

■For best playback quality, save your files and close all open applications before playing a DVD.

■After you insert a DVD, a short pause is normal before autorun opens the DVD and WinDVD Player.

■If the DVD displays a Playback Of Content From This Region Is Not Permitted error message, stop the DVD, change the region setting as described next in this section, then restart the DVD.

Using DVD Region Settings

Most DVDs that contain copyrighted files also contain region codes. The region codes help protect copyrights internationally.

You can play a DVD containing a region code only if the region code on the DVD matches the region setting on your DVD drive.

If the region code on a DVD does not match the region setting on your drive, a Playback Of Content From This Region Is Not Permitted message displays when you insert the DVD. To play the DVD, you must change the region setting on your DVD drive.
