52 Getting Started Guide
Playing CDs and DVDs with
Windows Media Player
Your PC must have a DVD drive to play DVD movies.
1 Insert the music CD or DVD movie into the drive.
• The Windows Media Player window opens. If the wizard window opens,
select Windows Media Player from the list. You may have to scroll
down in the window to see Windows Media Player.
Or
• If the Windows Media Player window does not automatically open, click
Start on the taskbar, choose All Programs, and then click Windows
Media Player.
2 To play the CD or DVD, use the playback buttons in the Windows Media Player
window. To play a particular track, double-click the title (or track number) in the
Playlist. You can also control playback by using the media control buttons on
the keyboard (select models).
For more information on using Windows Media Player, click the Help menu in
the Windows Media Player menu bar. If necessary, first display the menu bar by
clicking the up arrow icon in the upper-left corner of the Windows Media Player
window.
Playing DVD Movies with
InterVideo WinDVD
The InterVideo WinDVD program uses a DVD drive (select models only) to play DVD
movies.
1 Insert a DVD disc into the DVD drive.
NOTE: Most DVD movies are localized to geographical countries/regions. See
“Using country/region codes” on page 54.
NOTE: On a double-sided DVD, read the text around the inner hole of the
disc to determine which side (A versus B or Standard versus Widescreen) to
play. Place the disc in the tray with the label facing up for the side you want
to play.
