## Playing a disc

1. Put the disc in the drive.
2. Wait for **DVD Ready** to appear.
3. Click **DVD** on the bar.

The disc fills the screen and plays on the television. Discs never start
on their own — it always takes a button press.

## While it is playing

Move the mouse to the very bottom of the screen and a row of controls
slides up: previous chapter, play and pause, next chapter, the disc
menu, eject, and close.

**Space** also plays and pauses, and the arrow keys move around the disc
menu.

## Finishing

Click **✕** on that row to stop, or **⏏** to stop and eject the disc.

Take the disc with you.
