Notes on playing discs
To achieve optimum performance when playing discs, you should follow these recommendations.
❑
Some CD players and computers' optical disc drives may not be able to play audio CDs created with the CD-R or CD-RW
disc media.
❑
Some DVD players and computers' optical disc drives may not be able to play DVDs created with the DVD+R DL, DVD-
R DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM disc media.
❑
Do not use memory-resident utility software to speed up disc access when playing a disc. This may cause your computer
to malfunction.
❑
Do not place your computer into the power saving mode while your computer is playing a disc.
❑
Region code indicators are labeled 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 in most regions of the
world) is labeled on your DVD disc or on the packaging, you cannot play the disc on your computer.
!
If you change the DVD region code while the
WinDVD
or
WinDVD BD
software is running, restart the software or eject the disc and re-insert it to make
the new setting effective.
❑
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.
