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 or combination DVD/CD-RW drive, you can play DVDs with
the DVD Player program. For more information about playing DVDs, click
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 screen saver and standby timers.
3 Click Start, All Programs, DVD Player, then click 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 specifically 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.
