DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW Drive
When Using DVD Media
To play DVD-Video or MPEG2 files, DVD playback software is required.
"WinDVD" is installed at the time of purchase. (
About Regions Setting
The DVD-Video has a region code that is fixed according to the region where it is sold. In
order to play a DVD-Video, the region code of the player software and of the drive must
match that of the DVD-Video.
Example:
For U.S.A. and Canada: "1"
For Europe: "2"
This drive's region code is not set at the time of purchase. Therefore, operations will differ
depending on the first DVD-Video played.
In the case of a DVD-Video with a specific region code:
The drive will automatically be set with the same region code as the DVD-Video.
In the case of a DVD-Video with multiple region codes:
[Confirm Region] appears. Select region code and select [OK]. Play now begins.
([Confirm Region] may not be displayed for some DVD-Videos. To confirm the current
region code and the number of settings remaining, right-click on the WinDVD screen and
select [Setup] - [Region].)
CAUTION
The region code can be set a total of five times, including the initial setting. Proceed
very carefully, because after the fifth change has been made, the region code set last
is fixed and no further changes can be made, even if the operating system is
reinstalled.
The user must assume responsibility for any problems that result from illegally
changing or altering the region code.
