Chapter 3 Using Your MacBook 71
If you can’t eject the disc, quit any applications that might be using the disc and try
again. If that doesn’t work, restart the computer while holding down the trackpad
button.
Playing DVDs
To play a DVD-Video on your MacBook, insert the DVD disc. DVD Player opens
automatically. You’ll find DVD Player provides easy-to-use controls for starting,
stopping, and viewing DVDs.
If your MacBook is connected to a TV so that you can watch a DVD-Video on the TV
screen, select 720 x 480 NTSC (in the United States) or 720 x 576 PAL (in Europe and
other regions) in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
You can easily connect your MacBook to your stereo system. Use a miniplug-to-RCA
cable (not included) to connect the headphone (f) port on your MacBook to the
audio input ports on your stereo.
Recording CD-R and CD-RW Discs
Your MacBook can record data to CD-R and CD-RW discs. If you have a SuperDrive, you
can record your own digital movies on blank recordable DVD±R and DVD±RW discs.
You can also record other kinds of digital data, such as backing up files onto a
recordable DVD disc.
