TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical drive is set to play region 1
(North America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc from
another region, the drive will automatically change to play in
the format of the other region. The drive will allow you to
change regions four times. On the fourth change, the region
will be “locked in.” That is, the drive will only play DVDs from
that last region. Note that changing from region 1 to region 2
and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.
For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you
play DVDs while running the computer on AC power.
