media.
❑ Some DVD players and computer optical disc drives may not be able to play DVDs created with the DVD+R DL, DVD-R
DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM media.
❑ When your docking station is equipped with a Blu-ray Disc drive, Blu-ray Disc playback is available on your computer.

using the VAIO Update.
