DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM media.
❑ You may not be able to play some of Blu-ray Disc contents on your computer, or the computer may become unstable
during Blu-ray Disc playback. To play such contents normally, download and install the latest updates for the WinDVD BD

The Blu-ray Disc playback function is available on selected models only. See the online specifications to find out the type of your optical disc drive, and
then Reading and Writing Optical Discs (page 54) to find out about the supported disc media.
❑ Depending on system environment, you may find sound interruptions and/or dropped frames during AVC HD playback.
❑ Do not place your computer into the power saving mode while your computer is playing a disc.
❑ Region code indicators are labeled on the discs or packages to indicate in which region and on what type of player you
can play the disc. Unless the region code indicates "2" (Europe belongs to region "2"), "5" (Russia belongs to region "5"),
or "all" (this means that you can play this disc in most regions of the world), you cannot play the disc on your computer.

If you change the region code while the WinDVD or WinDVD BD software is running, restart the software or eject the disc and re-insert it to make the
new setting effective.
❑ Do not try to change the region code settings of the drive. Any difficulties caused by changing the region code settings of
the drive are not covered by the warranty.
