Using your VAIO
Playing DVDs
To achieve optimum performance when playing DVDs, you should follow these recommendations:
❑
Close all open applications before playing a DVD movie.

Play DVDs with the software
VAIO Zone
.
❑
Do not switch power saving modes while playing a DVD.
❑
Do not use built-in utility applications to speed up discs, because they may cause the system to become unstable.
❑
Make sure 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' (Europe belongs to region '2') or 'all' (this means that you can play this DVD everywhere in the world) is labelled on
your DVD disc or on the packaging, you cannot play the disc on this player.

the DVD drive are out of warranty.
❑
If your computer has Wireless LAN and Wireless LAN is activated, playing DVDs may cause some interruptions in audio and
video playback.
