Changing DVD region settings

Most DVDs that contain copyrighted files also contain region codes. The region codes help protect
copyrights internationally.

You can play a DVD containing a region code only if the region code on the DVD matches the region
setting on your DVD drive.

CAUTION:

The region settings on your DVD drive can be changed only 5 times.

The region setting you select the fifth time becomes the permanent region setting on the DVD drive.

The number of region changes remaining is displayed on the DVD Region tab.

To change settings through the operating system:

1.

Select 

Start

2.

In the left pane, click

NOTE:

Windows® includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your

computer. You may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing
software, running utilities, or changing Windows settings. Refer to Help and Support for more
information.

CAUTION:

Observe the copyright warning. It is a criminal offense, under applicable copyright laws,

to make unauthorized copies of copyright-protected material, including computer programs, films,
broadcasts, and sound recordings. Do not use this computer for such purposes.

Creating (burning) a CD or DVD

If the computer includes an optical drive that supports CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW discs, you can
burn data, video, and audio files, including MP3 and WAV music files, using software such as CyberLink
Power2Go.

Observe the following guidelines when burning a CD or DVD:

Before burning a disc, save and close any open files and close all programs.

A CD-R or DVD-R is usually best for burning audio files because after the information is copied, it
cannot be changed.

NOTE:

You cannot create an audio DVD with CyberLink Power2Go.

Because some home and car stereos will not play CD-RWs, use CD-Rs to burn music CDs.

A CD-RW or DVD-RW is generally best for burning data files or for testing audio or video recordings
before you burn them to a CD or DVD that cannot be changed.
