to read the notices on the disc package carefully to check both playback and
recording compatibility with your computer’s optical disc drives. Sony does NOT
guarantee the compatibility of VAIO optical disc drives with discs that are not
compliant with the official "CD," "DVD," or "Blu-ray Disc" standard. USING NON-
COMPLIANT DISCS CAN CAUSE FATAL DAMAGE TO YOUR VAIO COMPUTER OR
CREATE APP CONFLICTS AND CAUSE SYSTEM HANGING.
For inquiries about disc formats, contact the individual publisher of the pre-recorded
disc or the manufacturer of the recordable disc.
Your VAIO computer needs to be connected to the Internet to play DVD-RW, DVD-
RAM, and DVD-R (single layer or dual layer) media that are compliant with the
Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) standard.
To record, edit, or play copyright protected content, Blu-ray Disc media employs the
Advanced Access Content System (AACS) technology. To use Blu-ray Disc media
continually, you need to update the AACS key.
You can update the AACS key through the Internet. Follow a message displayed on a
recording, editing, or playback app you are using. Without updating the AACS key,
you may become unable to record, edit, or play copyright protected content.
To record, edit, or play content without copyright protection, you do not need to
update the AACS key. You can update the AACS key for the Blu-ray Disc recording or
playback app installed on your VAIO computer for five years after purchase. After
that, we will inform you about the update on the support website.
Region settings are required for some contents of DVD and BD-ROM Disc media. If
the region setting on the optical disc drive does not match the region code on the
disc, playback is not possible.
Unless your external display is compliant with the High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) standard, you cannot play or view the contents of copyright
protected Blu-ray Disc media through an HDMI connection.
Some Blu-ray Disc content may restrict video output to standard definition or prohibit
analog video output.
