Using the Drive

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 18.

Region Code Setting

DVD-Video are allocated to region codes according to where they are sold. To play a DVD-Video, the player’s software and the drive must have the corresponding region code. e.g.,

For U.S.A. and Canada: “1” E For Europe: “2”

The region code of the drive is not set at purchase. The operation depends on the DVD- Video that is first played.

•DVD-Video with a specific region code:

The drive will automatically be set at the same region code as the DVD-Video.

•DVD-Video with multiple region codes:

[Confirm Region] appears. Select the region code and click [OK]. Play now begins.

CAUTION

You can change the region code setting up to five times including the initial setting. Be extremely careful because you cannot change the region code anymore after the fifth change, even if you reinstalled the operating system.

Any problem resulting from illegal changing or altering of the region code is the user’s responsibility.

NOTE

[Confirm Region] appears when the DVD-Video has only one region code and the drive is set for another region code.

([Confirm Region] may not appear with some DVD-Video discs. To check the cur- rent region code and the number of remaining times of changing the code, right- click on the [WinDVD] screen and click [Setup] - [Region].)
