Playing CDs and DVDs 67
Playing a DVD
A DVD is similar to a standard CD but has greater data capacity. Because of
this increased capacity, full-length movies, several albums of music, or several
gigabytes of data can fit on a single disc. If your notebook has a DVD drive,
you can play DVDs with the DVD Player program. See the DVD help for more
information about using the DVD player.
To play a DVD:
1 Make sure that the volume is turned up.
2 Disable your system screen saver and standby timers.
3 Click
Start, then select Programs, DVD Player, then DVD Player. The
DVD Player video screen and control panel open.
4 Insert a DVD into the DVD drive, then click (play). The DVD plays.
5 To control the DVD or adjust the volume, use the controls in the
DVD player. For more information on using the DVD player, see its
online help.
