To achieve optimum performance when playing DVD-ROMs, you should follow these recommendations.

Notebook

 

 

❑ You can play DVDs using the DVD-ROM drive and the WinDVD for VAIO software. See the help file on

 

 

 

 

 

 

the WinDVD for VAIO software for details.

 

 

 

 

❑ Close all open applications before playing a DVD-ROM movie.

 

Sony

 

 

❑ When playing DVD movies on battery power, set the power management profile to DVD. With other

 

 

profiles, the movies can be choppy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

❑ Do not switch power saving modes while playing a DVD video.

 

 

 

 

❑ Do not use resident disc utilities or resident utilities to speed up the access of discs, because they may

 

 

 

cause the system to become unstable.

 

 

 

 

❑ Make sure that the screensaver is deactivated.

 

 

 

 

❑ Depending on the display setup properties you selected, you may use the <Fn>+<F> command to expand

 

 

 

the screen to full screen size.

 

 

 

 

❑ 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 labelled 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 DVD-ROM drive are out of warranty.
