DVD movies can only be

are active (Notebook display

movie will show as a black box

or blank screen on one of the

displays. This is normal.

key to

switch the display from your

Notebook to the TV.

For the location of audio

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.
