❑ Memory-resident disc utilities may cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities before
writing data to a disc.
❑ When using a software application to burn discs, make sure you exit and close all other applications.
❑ Never touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause writing
errors.
❑ Never put stickers on discs. This will affect the use of the disc irreparably.
Playing DVDs
To achieve optimum performance when playing DVD-ROMs, you should follow these recommendations:
❑ Close all open applications before playing a DVD-ROM movie.
❑ You can play DVDs in both drives with the software PowerDVD for VAIO.
❑ If you want to play a DVD and use Giga Pocket at the same time, please launch Giga Pocket before
PowerDVD for VAIO.
❑ Do not switch power saving modes while playing a DVD-ROM.
❑ Do not use resident disc utilities or other 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.
