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

the power management profile to Automatic Profile Selection, which will cause the
DVD profile to be selected automatically whenever you insert a DVD. See “Controlling
Power Management” in the online manual Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook for
information on how to set the power management profile.
