Using HD DVD-ROM drive and HD DVD-R drives
This section describes the features and use of HD DVD-ROM drive and HD
DVD-R drives.
This computer is equipped with a full-size HD DVD-ROM drive or a HD
DVD-R drive module that lets you record data to rewritable CD/DVDs as
well as run 12cm (4.72") CD/DVD/HD DVDs and 8cm (3.15") CD/DVDs
without using an adaptor.
If you have a HD DVD-ROM drive or a HD DVD-R drive, please also refer
to the Writing CD/DVD/HD DVDs on HD DVD-R drives section for
precautions on writing to CD's, DVD's and HD DVD’s.
If you have a HD DVD-ROM drive or a HD DVD-R drive, please refer to the
Qosmio HD DVD Guide for playback to HD DVD.
Do not point the web camera directly at the sun.
Do not touch or press strongly on the web camera lens. Doing so may
reduce image quality. Use an eyeglass cleaner (cleaner cloth) or other
soft cloth to clean the lens if it becomes dirty.
Setting the [Size] to more than "800x600" will cause a larger amount of
data to be written to the hard disk drive and may interfere with smooth
recording.
When recording in dimly lit environments, the following procedure can
be used to select "Night Mode" which allows for brighter images with
less noise.
1. Click the Properties button on the [Web Camera] menu.
2. Check Night Mode on the [Options] tab.
3. Click the OK button.
The number of frames per second is lowered when "video recording" in
"Night Mode". This may result in the playback of the recorded video file
seeming unsmooth.
Please refer to the included Qosmio HD DVD Guide for more information
on using the HD DVD-ROM drive and HD DVD-R drives.
You should use the HD DVD playback software in order to view HD DVD
Video media.
