Sony Notebook Computer User Guide

When playing DVD movies on battery power, set the power management profile to DVD.

With other profiles, the movies are choppy.

Depending on the display setup properties you selected, you may use Fn+F command to expand the screen to full screen size.

Region codes indicators are labeled on the DVD discs to indicate in which region and what type of player can play the disc. Unless a “2” or “ALL” is labeled on your DVD disc or on the packaging, you cannot play the disc on this player.

When a DVD video disc is inserted in the DVD-ROM drive, you cannot toggle between LCD and TV by pressing Fn+ F8.

For additional information on playing DVD video discs, please refer to the Media Bar Help.

To play DVD-ROM discs
