Using a DVD drive
Using a slot-load DVD drive
[
To insert a CD or DVD:
1 Place the disc in the slot with the label facing up.
Important
Prerecorded DVD discs and DVD drives contain regional codes
that help control DVD title exports and help reduce illegal disc
distribution. To be able to play a prerecorded DVD, the disc’s
regional code and your DVD drive’s regional code must match.
The regional code on your DVD drive is determined by your
notebook’s delivery address. The regional code for the United States
and Canada is 1. The regional code for Mexico is 4. Your DVD drive’s
regional code must match the regional code of the disc. The regional
code for the disc is on the disc, disc documentation, or packaging.
Important
When you place a single-sided disc in the tray or slot, make
sure that the label side is facing up. If the disc has two playable sides,
place the disc so the name of the side you want to play is facing up.
Tip
For information about cleaning a CD or DVD, see “Cleaning
CDs or DVDs” on page 75.
