❑ 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.
❑ 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.
❑ When a DVD video disc is inserted in the DVD-ROM drive, you cannot toggle between LCD and TV by
pressing <Fn>+<F8>.
❑ When a TV is connected, a part of the video screen will not appear with the factory settings. Adjust the
display resolution to 640x480.
Using the CD-RW function
To burn CDs, you can use CD-RW and CD-R discs:
❑ The CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) disc is a data memory medium that can be used to write, erase and rewrite
a program or other data.
❑ The CD-R (CD-Recordable) disc is a data memory medium that can be used to write a program or other
data, but once only.
To achieve optimum performance when writing data on a CD-RW disc, follow these recommendations:
❑ To make a CD-R’s data readable on a CD-ROM drive, you need to close the session when you eject it. To
complete this process, follow the instructions included with your software.
❑ Only use circular discs. Do not use discs with any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage
the CD-RW drive.
❑ Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disc.
❑ For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screensaver before writing data to a disc.
