Your optical drive is capable of playing audio CDs, DVD films or data CDs/DVDs.

12.3. Regional Playback Information for DVDs
Playback of DVD film titles includes decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio
data and decoding CSS-protected content. CSS (sometimes also referred to as
Copy Guard) is the name of a data protection program used by the film industry to
protect against illegal copying.
Among the many controls for CSS licensees, the most important of the playback
restrictions involve country specific content.
To make it easier to create geographically separate film releases, DVD titles are
coded for specific regions. Copyright laws required that each DVD film be limited to
a specific region (usually the region where it is sold).
DVD film versions can be published in multiple regions but CSS rules require that
each CSS decoder system may only be used for one region.
