TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical disc drive is set to play
region 1 (North America) DVD-ROMs. A DVD disc of a
region other than the above mentioned cannot be played
unless you manually change it in the Properties setting of
the optical disc drive. 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

For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that
you play DVDs while running the computer on AC power.
When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software
that came with your computer.
