When playing DVD movies on battery power, set the power management profile to DVD. With other


profiles, the movies can be choppy.
Do not switch power saving modes while playing a DVD video.


If the virus checker is active, you need to disable it.


Do not use resident disc utilities or resident utilities to speed up the access of discs, because they may


cause the system to become unstable.
Make sure that the screensaver is deactivated.


Region codes indicators are labelled on the DVD discs to indicate in which region and on what type of


player you can play the disc. Unless a '2' (Europe belongs to region '2') or 'all' (this means that you can
play this DVD everywhere in the world) is labelled on your DVD disc or on the packaging, you cannot
play the disc on this player.
Do not try to change the region code settings of the DVD-ROM drive. Any difficulties caused by changing


the region code settings of DVD-ROM drive are out of warranty.
