Learning the Basics
Using the optical disc drive
Viewing Blu-ray Disc™ movies
(Available on certain models.)
Your system may come with a Blu-ray Disc™ drive. Due to
differences between High Definition and previous viewing
capabilities, consider the following:
❖ Use an HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
HDMI™ cable to view High Definition content via your
Blu-ray Disc™ drive on an external monitor or television. The
external monitor or television must support HDMI™.
❖ Some Blu-ray Disc™ movies have online content that can be
accessed from the disc. To view this content, your computer
must be connected to the Internet.
❖ While viewing online content, your system may not view it in
High Definition on an external monitor, even though your
display setting is set to simultaneous. This is due to the lower
resolution used in the simultaneous setting. For more
information on your computer’s display settings, see
“Directing the display output when you turn on the computer”
on page 68.
❖ When an HDMI™ cable is used to send a High Definition
signal to an external monitor the audio signal is automatically
sent with the video signal. If you want to change the
destination of the audio signal, use the Sound properties in the
Control Panel.
