Regional codes for DVD films and DVD players

DVD films and DVD players (e.g. the DVD drive of your notebook) are always
provided with a regional code. The regional codes of DVD films and DVD players
must match so that the DVD film can be played back.
There are six different regional codes:
•
Regional code 1:
•
Regional code 2:
•
Regional code 3:
•
Regional code 4:
•
Regional code 5:
•
Regional code 6:
The DVD drive of your notebook supports the function RPC-II (Phase II
System of Regional Playback Control).
Before you can play video DVDs on your notebook, you will need to set the regional code
for your region. When you play a DVD for the first time, your notebook will automatically
detect the regional code of the inserted DVD and select this as your regional code.
Before you play your first DVD no regional code will be set.
This function permits the final user to change the regional code of the drive up to
five times to play back corresponding DVD films. After this, the last regional code
selected is retained and cannot be changed again.
Fujitsu Siemens Computers therefore recommends that you should choose a
DVD from your region when playing a video DVD for the first time (in the UK and
Europe this would for example be a DVD with the region code 2).
If you wish to change the region code, you will first need to insert a DVD
with the new region code into the DVD recorder.
Before buying a DVD film you should check that the regional code of the DVD film
matches the region code set for the DVD drive of your notebook.

Windows uses AutoPlay technology. This allows you to tell Windows what to
do with different types of CD or DVD disks.
You can set the AutoPlay function of the CD/DVD drive according to your needs. For example, if you
insert a music CD you can tell Windows to open Media Player and start to play it automatically.
Proceed as follows:
► Enter the settings by clicking Start – (Settings) – Control Panel – Hardware and Sound – Autoplay.
Please note that you must select the desired action for each
individual CD/DVD content type.
