Playing a DVD
❑
You can play DVDs using a DVD-ROM drive and the Media Bar
software. See the online manual that came with the Media Bar
software for details.
❑
While playing a DVD, the display mode is 1024 x 768 dots. This
improves play performance.
If you have connected a TV, follow the instructions in “Selecting the
Display Mode” in the online manual Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook.
The DVD player automatically adjusts the screen properties when you
play a DVD movie. Depending on the display setup properties you have
selected, you may need to use the Fn+F command to expand the movie to
full-screen size.
When a TV is connected, a part of the video screen will not appear with
the factory setting. Adjust the display resolution to 640 x 480 as described
in the online manual Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook.
On Handling CD and DVD media
❑
Do not touch the surface of the disc.
❑
Do not drop or bend the disc.
On Cleaning CD and DVD media
❑
Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause read errors.
Proper care of the disc is essential to maintain its reliability. Do not
use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners
or anti-static spray, as they may cause damage to the disc.
❑
For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to
wipe the surface from the center out.
❑
If the disc is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring it out
well, and use it to wipe the surface of the disc from the center out.
Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth.
!
Some discs recorded at 20 or 24 bits may produce noise while playing. If you
have audio devices connected, this may cause damage to your hearing and the
speakers. Reduce the volume before playing such discs.
!
You cannot switch between LCD and TV if you press Fn+F8 when a DVD is
inserted in the DVD-ROM drive.
