Notes on playing DVDs

To achieve optimum performance when playing DVDs, you should follow these recommendations.

❑Close all open applications before playing a DVD movie.

❑Do not use memory-resident utility software to speed up disc access when playing a DVD. This may cause the computer to malfunction.

❑Deactivate the screen saver and exit anti-virus software before playing a disc.

❑Some discs recorded at 20 or 24 bits may produce noise while playing. If you have audio devices connected, this may damage your hearing and the speakers. Reduce the volume before playing a DVD.

❑Do not switch power saving modes while the computer is playing a DVD.

❑Region code indicators are labeled on the DVDs to indicate in which region and on what type of player you can play the disc. If the DVD is labeled "all," this means that you can play this DVD in most regions of the world. If the region code of your residence area is different from the label on the DVD disc or on the packaging, you cannot play the disc on this player.
