DVD movies can only be
viewed on one display at a
time. If two or more displays
are active (Notebook display

movie will show as a black box
or blank screen on one of the
displays. This is normal.

key to

Notebook to the TV.

controls or connections on
your Notebook, see the “Status
Display and CD/DVD/MP3

guide.
In order to have your DVD
picture and your audio directed
to a television and stereo, you
need two separate cables.
These cables can be purchased
at any location that specializes
in electronics or audio
equipment.
