To insert the DVD drive
You do not need to shut down the computer to insert the DVD-ROM 
drive into the multipurpose bay. You can also insert the DVD-ROM drive 
while the computer is in power saving mode.
When playing DVD movies on battery power, set the power management profile to DVD 
profile. With other profiles, the movies are choppy. As an alternative, you can set the power 
management profile to Automatic Profile Selection, which will cause the DVD profile to be 
selected automatically whenever you insert a DVD. See “Controlling Power Management” in 
the online document Customizing Your VAIO
®
 Notebook for information on how to set the 
power management profile. 
Be sure to insert the weight saver into the multipurpose bay when the bay is empty. See “To 
insert a second battery pack” on page 44 for details on inserting the weight saver.
