Playing a DVD
A Digital Versatile Disc (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 computer
has a DVD drive, you can play DVDs with the DVD Player program. For more
information about playing DVDs, select
Help in the DVD player program.
To play a DVD:
1 Make sure that the speakers are turned on or headphones are plugged in
and that the volume is turned up.
2 Turn off your system screen saver and standby timers.
3 Click Start, then select All 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.
