I cannot play a CD
❑ After inserting the CD, wait for a few seconds for the system to detect it before you try to access it.
❑ Make sure the label of the disc is facing outwards.
❑ If the disc requires software, make sure the software is installed according to the instructions of the
program.
❑ Check the volume of your speakers.
❑ Clean the disc with an appropriate cleaner.
❑ Moisture condensation may have occurred. Leave the computer for at least 1 hour before turning it on.
I cannot play a DVD-ROM
❑ If a region code warning appears when you are using the DVD player, it could be that the DVD-ROM you
are trying to play is incompatible with the DVD drive on your VAIO desktop. The region code is listed on
the packaging of the disc.
❑ Check your PG settings (Parental Guidance) in the DVD software as this might be preventing you from
playing certain DVDs when it is activated.
❑ If you hear sound but cannot see a picture, your computer's video resolution may be set too high. For
best results, change the resolution in the Windows
