Notes about playing a DVD video
• Depending on the disc, there may be functional limitations, sound
interruptions, or dropped frames. Some discs may not play at all.
• During playback of DVD video discs, do not attempt to modify display
settings such as the resolution or colors. Doing so could destabilize the
operation of the notebook or make it impossible to modify settings. Always
close the DVD playback software before modifying display settings.
• During playback of some DVD video discs with high sound quality (20-
bit or 24-bit sampling), noise during playback or other problems may
occur. When playing such discs via the notebook connected to an audio
system, turn down the volume and test for normal playback first, in order
to prevent the possibility of damage to the speakers.
• When a DVD video disc is inserted in the drive, you cannot use the Jog
Dial™ control or the <Fn> key + <F7> or <F8> key combinations to
toggle between the LCD and a television monitor or other type of display.
• When using a PCG-C1M series notebook, a part of the image may be cut
off with some DVD video discs.
• When playing back a DVD video disc, use the software that is
preinstalled on the notebook.
• Do not press the eject button during playback of DVD video discs.
• Do not use a screen saver while playing a DVD video with DVD
playback software.
