Playing DVD movies

When the DVD drive module is installed in the optical drive bay, you can play DVD movies on your computer.

1Eject the DVD tray and insert a DVD movie disc; then close the DVD tray.

Important! When you launch the DVD player for the first time, the program asks you to input the region code. DVD discs are divided into 6 regions. Once your DVD drive is set to a region code, it will play DVD discs of that region only. You can set the region code a maximum of five times (including the first time), after which the last region code set will remain permanent. Recovering your hard disk does not reset the number of times the region code has been set. Refer to the table later in this section for DVD movie region code information.

2The DVD movie will automatically play after a few seconds.

Region Code	Country or Region

1	U.S.A., Canada

2	Europe, Middle East, South Africa,Japan

3	Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea (South)

4	Latin America, Australia, New Zealand

5	Former U.S.S.R., parts of Africa, India

6	People's Republic of China

Note: To change the region code, insert a DVD movie of a different region into the DVD drive.
