OPTICAL DRIVE SOFTWARE
DVD Model only:
With the optical drive and Optical Drive software you can play DVD
movies on your notebook PC. The optical drive includes controls which allow you to
take full advantage of the features of a DVD movie, as well as standard features such as
fast forward, fast reverse, pause, etc.
DVD / CD-RW Model only:
With this optical drive, you can read audio CDs, play DVD
movies, and write data onto a recordable CD-R or CD-RW disc. In addition to the
Optical Drive software, you would need software for burning CDs.
Do not operate your optical drive unless your notebook PC is
sitting on a flat surface. Using a drive when the system is not level
may damage the drive or prevent proper operation.
Prolonged use of the optical drive drive, such as watching a DVD
movie, will substantially reduce the battery life if no other power
source is attached.
You should periodically check updated drivers.
The DVD player is set to play DVD titles with region code number
1 which is specified for the North American market. The region
number is a regional restriction code defined by the DVD Forum
acting on the requirements of Hollywood. Different region codes
are recorded on video DVD titles for publication in different areas
of the world. If the regional code of the DVD player does not
match the regional codes on the titles, then playback is impossible.
