Playing DVD movies
To play DVD movies in your notebook, insert the DVD into the drive and the
DVD movie will automatically play after a few seconds.
Important When you open the DVD player for the first time, the
program asks you to input the region code. DVDs are
divided into 6 regions. Once your DVD drive is set to a
region code, it will play DVDs of that region only. You can
set the region code a maximum of five times (including the
first time), after which the last region code set will remain
permanent. Recovering your hard drive does not reset the
number of times the region code has been set. Refer to
the table below for DVD movie region code information.
Region code Country or region
1 U.S.A., Canada
2 Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan
3 Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea (South)
4 Mexico, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand
5 Former U.S.S.R., parts of Africa, India
6 People's Republic of China
Important To change the region code, insert a DVD movie of a
different region into the DVD drive. Refer to the online help
for more information.
