Emergency Ejection of a Blocked Disc
If the tray fails to open automatically, the tray can be opened manually provided
there is an opening for emergency ejection.
Restart your notebook and if the tray is still locked proceed as follows:
1. Shut down Windows® and switch off your notebook.
2. Insert a long thin object (like a straightened paper clip) into the emergency
ejection opening until you feel resistance.
3. Press lightly and the tray will open.
4. Remove the disc and restart the notebook.
Playing Back and Retrieving Data from Discs
Your notebook is able to playback and to retrieve information of Audio CDs, DVD
Movies and Data discs.
After loading the disc your operating system will open a selection window with
different options for playback. Normally there are various programs at your
disposal.
If your operating system doesn’t open the selection window you still have the
possibility of the access via the “
Explorer ” or “ 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 country 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.
Note
The decoding software included with your notebook 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 resetting is desired,
shipping and resetting costs will be billed to the user.
