Learning the Basics
Using the optical disc drive
Viewing Blu-ray Disc™ movies
(Available on certain models.)
Your system may come with a Blu-ray Disc™ drive. Due to
differences between High Definition and previous viewing
capabilities, consider the following:
❖ Use an HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) HDMI™ cable to view High Definition content
via your Blu-ray Disc™ drive on an external monitor or
television. The external monitor or television must
support HDMI™.
❖ Some Blu-ray Disc™ movies have online content that
can be accessed from the disc. To view this content,
your computer must be connected to the Internet.
❖ While viewing online content, your system may not view
it in High Definition on an external monitor, even though
your display setting is set to simultaneous. This is due to
the lower resolution used in the simultaneous setting.
For more information on your computer’s display
settings, see “Directing the display output when you turn
on the computer” on page 73.
When an HDMI™ cable is used to send a High Definition
signal to an external monitor the audio signal is automatically
sent with the video signal. If you want to change the
destination of the audio signal, use the Sound properties in
the Control Panel.
