Playing DVD Movies

The DVD-ROM drive (select models only) can run software on CD-ROMs, play music CDs, and play DVD movies and software.

Playing a DVD

DVDs automatically play after you insert the disc.

Note: DVD movies are often localised to geographical countries/regions. For information about this, see “Using Country/Region Codes” on page 65.

1Insert the disc into the DVD-ROM drive.

Note: On a double-sided DVD, read the text around the inner hole of the disc to determine which side (A versus B or Standard versus Widescreen) to play. Place the disc in the tray with the label face up for the side you want to play.

2Close the disc tray by gently pushing the tray into the computer. The movie plays in its own resizable window, and the WinDVD control panel appears.

You may want to start WinDVD, and adjust the settings, before inserting the disc, and starting the movie.
