DVD region codes

The playback of DVD-Video (DVD discs) is

protected and controlled by a region code

setting. For the drive to play back DVD-

Video, the region code on the DVD disc, the

region code of the drive, and the region code

of the DVD-Video software must all match.

With this drive, the region code can be set up

to five times, including the initial assignment

(RPC phase 2 standard). After setting the

region code five times, the setting becomes

permanent and can no longer be changed.

From this point on, you are only able to play

back DVD-Video whose region code

matches the one set the fifth time.

Do not attempt to make unauthorized

changes to the region code. Any problems

resulting from doing so are not covered by

the warranty.

Hint

You can change the region code of the drive on it’s

properties dialog box accessible from the Device

Manager.

Precautions for Use

Whirring noise

During startup, the drive may make a whirring noise due to balls contained in the spindle

motor. This is normal and does not indicate a drive malfunction.

Avoiding condensation problems

As much as possible, avoid sudden temperature changes. Do not attempt to use the drive

immediately after moving it from a cold to a warm location, or raising the room temperature

suddenly, as condensation may form within the drive. If the temperature changes suddenly

while using the drive, stop using it but keep the power on for at least an hour.

Attention Regarding DualDisc Software

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with

digital audio material on the other side.

However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard,

playback on this product is not guaranteed.
