Playing DVDs
To achieve optimum performance when playing DVD-ROMs, you should follow these recommendations:
❑ You can play DVDs in the DVD±RW or DVD-ROM drive, with the software PowerDVD for VAIO.
❑ Close all open applications before playing a DVD-ROM movie.
❑ Do not switch power saving modes while playing a DVD-ROM.
❑ 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.
❑ Region codes indicators are labelled on the DVDs to indicate in which region and on what type of player
you can play the disc. Unless a 2 or ALL is labelled on your DVD or on the packaging, you cannot play
the disc on this player.
❑ Do not try to change the region code settings of the DVD drive. Any difficulties caused by changing the
region code settings of the DVD drive are out of warranty.
