Playing Back and Retrieving Data from Discs
Note
Some disks start automatically upon insertion. This depends on the operat-
ing system and the related settings.
Your PC is able to playback and to retrieve Audio CDs, DVD Movies and Data discs.
After loading the disc your operating system will open a selection window with different
options for playback.
If your operating system doesn’t open the selection window you still have the possibility of
access to the optical drive via the Windows Explorer or the Computer .
Regional Playback Information for DVD
The playback of DVD movies includes the decoding of MPEG2 videos, digital AC3 audio
data and the deciphering of CSS protected contents.
CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name of a data protection program incorporated
by the movie industry as an action against illegal copies.
Among the numerous regulations for CSS licensees the most important ones are the coun-
try specific playback restrictions.
In order to facilitate the geographically restricted release of movies, DVD titles are released
for certain regions.
Copyright laws require the restriction of each DVD movie to a certain region (usually the
region, in which it is sold).
DVD movie versions can be published in several regions but the CSS regulations require
that each CSS decipherable system may only be used in one region.
Attention!
The decoding software included with your PC may be changed for regional
DVD decoding
up to five times , after which the drive will only play DVD
movies for the region setting last entered. Changing the region code after
that will require factory resetting which is
not covered by warranty. If reset-
ting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be billed to the user.
