Ejecting a Disc

To eject a disc, do one of the following:

• Drag the disc icon to the Trash.

• Press and hold the Media Eject ( ) key on the keyboard until the disc ejects.

If you can’t eject the disc, quit any applications that may be using the disc and try

again. If that doesn’t work, restart the computer while holding down the mouse

button.

Playing DVD Discs

To play a DVD, insert the DVD disc. DVD Player opens automatically and starts playing

the disc.

If your iMac G5 is connected to a TV so that you can watch DVD playback on the TV

screen, select 720 x 480 NTSC (in the United States) or 720 x 576 PAL (in Europe and

other regions) in the Displays pane of System Preferences.

You can easily connect your iMac G5 to your stereo system. Use an optical audio cable

with a mini-plug connector (available www.apple.com/store) to connect the

combination headphone out/optical audio out port ( ) on your iMac G5 to the optical

audio input port on your stereo receiver.
