108 Learning the Basics Using the optical disc drive TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical disc drive is set to play region 1 (North America) for DVD-ROMs or BD-ROMs, depending on the type of drive. If you play a DVD or BD 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 and BDs from that last region. Note that changing from region 1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes. NOTE For optimum DVD and BD performance, it is recommended that you play DVDs and BDs while running the computer on AC power. NOTE When viewing DVD and BD movies use the DVD or BD player software that came with your computer. Viewing Blu-ray Disc™ movies Your system may come with a Blu-ray Disc™ drive. Due to differences between High Definition and previous viewing capabilities, consider the following: ❖ Use an HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) HDMI™ cable to view High Definition content via your Blu-ray Disc™ drive on an external monitor or television. The external monitor or television must support HDMI™. ❖ Some Blu-ray Disc™ movies have online content that can be accessed from the disc. To view this content, your computer must be connected to the Internet. ❖ While viewing online content, your system may not view it in High Definition on an external monitor, even though your display setting is set to simultaneous. This is due to the lower resolution used in the simultaneous setting. For more information on your computer's display settings, see "Directing the display output when you turn on the computer" on page 81. ❖ When an HDMI™ cable is used to send a High Definition signal to an external monitor the audio signal is automatically sent with the video signal. If you want to change the destination of the audio signal, use the Sound properties in the Control Panel.
