❑

Region codes indicators are labelled on the DVD discs 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 labeled on your DVD disc or on the packaging, you cannot play

 

 

 

 

the disc on this player.

 

 

 

 

❑ Do not try to change the region code settings of the DVD-ROM drive. Any difficulties caused by changing

 

 

 

 

the region code settings of the DVD-ROM drive are out of warranty.

display resolution to 640 x 480.

 

 

 

 

❑ Dual display is possible when playing DVD movies, but the actual image of the movie will only appear

 

 

 

 

on one screen at a time. If you want to see the movie on the external display and still work in the

 

 

 

 

notebook screen (limited use only), go to Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Display. On the

 

 

 

 

Settings tab, click Advanced. On the Displays tab, select the TV/CRT monitor as the primary screen.
