Playing DVDs
Your VAIO desktop includes a DVD drive, on which you can play audio CDs, CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs.
To achieve optimum performance when playing DVD-ROMs, you should follow these recommendations:
❑
Close all open applications before playing a DVD-ROM movie.
❑
Do not switch power saving modes while playing a DVD-ROM.
❑
Do not use resident disc utilities or resident utilities to speed up the access of discs, because they may
cause the system to become unstable.
❑
Make sure that the screensaver is deactivated.
❑
Region codes indicators are labelled on the DVDs to indicate in which region and on what type of player
you can play the disc. Unless a
2
or
ALL

the disc on this player.
❑
Do not try to change the region code settings of the DVD drive. Any difficulties caused by changing the
region code settings of the DVD drive are out of warranty.
