HP s3650f manual Playing CDs, DVDs, or VCDs

Using DVD Play to Play DVDs, Videos, High-Definition DVDs, and Blu-ray DVDs

Depending on the type of DVD drive that is included with the computer, you can play DVDs, HD DVDs, or Blu-ray discs. The front of the drive is labeled with the type of discs that the DVD drive can play. Some drives can play both Blu-ray and HD DVDs. This means a better movie viewing experience, greater picture quality, and more bonus content.

Keep the following in mind when playing Blu-ray and HD DVDs:

￿The DVD Play BD/HD DVD player software is capable of playing standard DVD movie discs; however, the enhanced features are available only with Blu-ray and HD DVD discs.

￿HD DVD and Blu-ray movies play only through the DVD Play BD/HD DVD software.

￿CPU power is dedicated to support HD DVD and Blu-ray playback functions. It is recommended that you close all other applications before and during HD DVD and Blu-ray playback.

￿AACS keys are integrated into the computer for copy protection purposes. Occasional renewal of the AACS key is required, and easily done by connecting to the Internet.

￿Some HD DVD and Blu-ray advanced features may not be supported.

￿As HD DVD and Blu-ray are new formats containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility, and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all systems is not guaranteed.

￿For some HD-DVD and Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI or HDMI digital connection, and the display may require HDCP support.
