To play DVD-ROMs (PCG-F490/PCG-F480 only)

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 
movie.

✍

Be sure to seat the disc firmly over the 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 VAIO

For PCG-F480 only. 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 playing DVD movies on battery power, set the power management profile to DVD. 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
