Watching a movie
Your optical drive allows you to watch movies from a disc. You can also watch high-definition movies
from a disc if your computer includes an optional Blu-ray Disc ROM Drive.
1. Turn on the computer.
2. Press the release button (1) on the optical drive bezel to release the disc tray.
3. Pull out the tray (2).
4. Hold the disc by the edges and position the disc label-side up over the tray spindle.
NOTE: If the tray is not fully accessible, tilt the disc carefully to position it over the spindle.
5. Gently press the disc (3) down onto the tray spindle until the disc snaps into place.
6. Close the disc tray.
7. Launch the DVD playback feature in MediaSmart by pressing the DVD button on the control panel.
NOTE: To watch a high-definition movie, you must use MediaSmart software. To watch standard
format movies, you can use MediaSmart or other multimedia software.
NOTE: For best results, be sure that your AC adapter is plugged into an external power source while
playing a BD.
