To play DVD-ROMs
To achieve optimum performance when playing DVD-ROMs, you should 
use the following recommendations: Your computer should not 
be connected to the port replicator while playing DVD movies or using 
DVD applications. Close any open applications before playing a 
DVD-ROM movie. 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.
Be sure to seat the disc firmly over the DVD-ROM/CD-ROM drive hub fingers. If you do not 
seat the disc firmly, you could damage your DVD-ROM/CD-ROM drive and you may not be 
able to open the tray.
When you finish using a disc, wait until the LED indicator light turns off, then press the Eject 
button to remove the disc.
When the computer is in System Suspend or System Hibernation mode, you cannot remove 
a disc. See “Controlling Power Management” in the online document 
Customizing Your

 Notebook Computer for more information about System Suspend and System 
Hibernation modes.
If the disc does not come out when you press the Eject button, turn off the computer and 
insert a thin, pointed object into the manual eject hole.
When playing DVD movies on battery power, set the power management profile to Games. 
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 Games profile to 
be selected automatically whenever you insert a DVD. See “Controlling Power 
Management” in the online document
