✍When the computer is in Standby or Hibernate mode, you cannot insert or remove a disc.

Be sure to seat the disc firmly over the disc drive hub fingers. If you do not seat the disc firmly, you could damage your disc drive and you may not be able to open the tray.

When you finish using a disc, wait until the LED indicator turns off and then press the eject button to remove the disc.

If the disc does not come out when you press the eject button, go to Windows Explorer or My Computer. Select the drive, click the right button of your mouse and select Eject to open the disk tray. If it still does not work, turn off the computer and insert a thin, pointed object (e.g., a paper clip) into the manual eject hole.

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

❑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 labeled 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.
