This COMBO drive will not work alone while applying CDs & DVDs 
Playback!!  The Playback function can only work when the USB Cable 
between the drive and your PC is well connected. 
 

Playback Software 

You must install the DVD playback software to your computer first.  If you do not have any 
DVD playback software installed in your computer, the included DVD playback software in 
the CD kit will bring you the best playback result. 
 
You can immediately play Audio CDs and pre-recorded DVD discs, including movies and 
other DVDs.  To play a CD or a Digital Video Disc (DVD), insert the disc with the label up 
(for CDs).  This COMBO drive plays both single-layer and dual-layer DVDs. 

 

The First Time to Play DVDs 

A code on some DVDs allows them to be played only in a certain regional area, such as North 
America, Europe, etc.  When the COMBO drive ships, there is no region code set.  The first 
time a DVD that has a region setting is inserted into the COMBO drive, the act of inserting 
the DVD sets the drive to that region code. 
 
If you later insert a DVD with a different region code, you are prompted to either accept 
changing the region code or not.  If you do not accept the change, then that DVD will not play.  
If you do accept the change, then the COMBO drive’s region code setting is changed.  

But 

remember: you may change the COMBO drive’s region code only 5 times.  After that, 
you will not be able to change your drive’s code setting.
