USING THE OPTICAL PLAYER SOFTWARE
Starting a DVD Movie
1. Insert the DVD into the notebook’s optical drive. If
the CD AutoRun feature activates, skip Step 2.
2. The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-
RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you
want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g.,
start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you
make a selection, you will receive the same prompt
whenever you insert a disc.
3. Click OK to close the About DVD Player Perfor-
mance dialog box and the movie will begin. After
you make your selections, the PowerDVD control
panel will appear whenever you insert a disc.

how the movie should play and what you wish to view.
You can do this by using the DVD/CD-RW Combo
Drive control panel and the mouse.
To open a dropdown menu for options, right-click on
