to read the notices on the disc package carefully to check both playback and

recording compatibility with your computer’s optical disc drives. Sony does NOT

guarantee the compatibility of VAIO optical disc drives with discs that are not

compliant with the official "CD," "DVD," or "Blu-ray Disc" standard. USING NON-

COMPLIANT DISCS CAN CAUSE FATAL DAMAGE TO YOUR VAIO COMPUTER OR

CREATE APP CONFLICTS AND CAUSE SYSTEM HANGING.

For inquiries about disc formats, contact the individual publisher of the pre-recorded

disc or the manufacturer of the recordable disc.

Your VAIO computer needs to be connected to the Internet to play DVD-RW, DVD-

RAM, and DVD-R (single layer or dual layer) media that are compliant with the

Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) standard.

To record, edit, or play copyright protected content, Blu-ray Disc media employs the

Advanced Access Content System (AACS) technology. To use Blu-ray Disc media

continually, you need to update the AACS key.

You can update the AACS key through the Internet. Follow a message displayed on a

recording, editing, or playback app you are using. Without updating the AACS key,

you may become unable to record, edit, or play copyright protected content.

To record, edit, or play content without copyright protection, you do not need to

update the AACS key. You can update the AACS key for the Blu-ray Disc recording or

playback app installed on your VAIO computer for five years after purchase. After

that, we will inform you about the update on the support website.

Region settings are required for some contents of DVD and BD-ROM Disc media. If

the region setting on the optical disc drive does not match the region code on the

disc, playback is not possible.

Unless your external display is compliant with the High -bandwidth Digital Content

Protection (HDCP) standard, you cannot play or view the contents of copyright

protected Blu-ray Disc media through an HDMI connection.

Some Blu-ray Disc content may restrict video output to standard definition or prohibit

analog video output.
