Using your DVD player
The DVD Player contains the controls necessary to play DVD discs 
and change the DVD display. Some notebooks (such as the Solo 
9100) require you to change the video source to DVD before 
playing a DVD disc.
To make DVD your video source:
1. Press the FN key and the VIDEO SOURCE key (F7 on the Solo 
9100) simultaneously. The video source menu opens.
2. Continue to press the key combination until the option “DVD” 
appears. The popup menu closes.
To play a DVD disc:
1. Click Start, Programs, DVDPlay, and then Dvdplay to open the 
DVD Player application.
Important:
The DVD Player application must be running to play a DVD 
disc. If the Active Movie window is not a solid black window, 
change the video source to “DVD” using the 
FN+VIDEO 
SOURCE key combination.
2. Press the Eject button on the front of the DVD-ROM drive or 
click the 
Eject button on the DVD Player control panel. It will 
take a few seconds for the tray to open.
3. Place the disc in the disc tray.
4. Gently push the tray to close it. Give the system a few seconds 
to recognize the disc.
5. Click Play.
