Playing CDs, DVDs, or VCDs 137
Using DVD Play to Play DVDs, Videos,
High-Definition DVDs, and Blu-ray DVDs
Depending on the type of DVD drive that is included with the computer, you can play
DVDs, HD DVDs, or Blu-ray discs. The front of the drive is labeled with the type of discs
that the DVD drive can play. Some drives can play both Blu-ray and HD DVDs. This means
a better movie viewing experience, greater picture quality, and more bonus content.
Keep the following in mind when playing Blu-ray and HD DVDs:
 The DVD Play BD/HD DVD player software is capable of playing standard DVD
movie discs; however, the enhanced features are available only with Blu-ray and
HD DVD discs.
 HD DVD and Blu-ray movies play only through the DVD Play BD/HD DVD software.
 CPU power is dedicated to support HD DVD and Blu-ray playback functions. It is
recommended that you close all other applications before and during HD DVD and
Blu-ray playback.
 AACS keys are integrated into the computer for copy protection purposes. Occasional
renewal of the AACS key is required, and easily done by connecting to the Internet.
 Some HD DVD and Blu-ray advanced features may not be supported.
 As HD DVD and Blu-ray are new formats containing new technologies, certain disc,
digital connection, compatibility, and/or performance issues may arise, and do not
constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all systems is not guaranteed.
 For some HD-DVD and Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI or HDMI digital
connection, and the display may require HDCP support.
