Information
To play DVD-Video or MPEG2 files, install the DVD playback software using DVD
Drive Utility Disc (included).
For information on how to install the software, refer to page 11.
CD-RW discs cannot be read using any other drives that do not support CD-RW discs.
For further details, contact the manufacturer of each drive concerned.
When playing back movies from a disc, note that smooth playback may not be possible in
some cases.
About Regions Setting
DVD-Videos usually have a region code that is fixed according to the region where they are
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 shipment from the factory. 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 and player software will automatically be set to 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 of the drive and the player software, and
select [OK]. Play now begins.
([Confirm Region] may not appear for some DVD-Videos. To confirm the current region
code of the drive and the number of settings remaining, right-click on the WinDVD
screen and select [Setup] - [Region].)
The region code of the drive can be set a total of five times, including the initial
setting. Proceed very carefully, because after the fourth change has been made, the
region code set last is fixed and no further changes can be made.
The user must take responsibility for any trouble that results from illegally changing
or altering the region code.
CAUTION
NOTE
[Confirm Region] will also be displayed if a DVD-Video with one region code is
inserted into a drive for which another region code has already been set.
