Declarations and Safety Statements
DVD-ROM Drive Information
The Notebook PC comes with an optional DVD-ROM drive or a CD-ROM drive. In order to view DVD titles, you must install
your own DVD viewer software. Optional DVD viewer software may be purchased with this Notebook PC. The DVD-ROM
drive allows the use of both CD and DVD discs.
Regional Playback Information
Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio and decryption of CSS protected content.
CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name given to the content protection scheme adopted by the motion picture
industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content duplication.
Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is most relevant is playback restrictions on
regionalized content. In order to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video titles are released for spe-
cific geographic regions as defined in “Region Definitions” below. Copyright laws require that all DVD movies be limited
to a particular region (usually coded to the region at which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for mul-
tiple regions, CSS design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS encrypted content must only be capable of
playing one region.
NOTE: The region setting may be changed up to five times using the viewer software, then it can only
play DVD movies for the last region setting. Changing the region code after that will require factory re
setting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at
the expense of the user.
