Using Your VAIO Computer
!
To play copyright protected Blu-ray Discs continually, you need to update the AACS key. Note that the AACS key update requires Internet access.
As with other optical media devices, circumstances may limit compatibility or prevent Blu-ray Disc playback. VAIO computers may not support movie
playback on packaged media recorded in AVC or VC1 formats at high bit rates.
Region settings are required for Movies and BD-ROM contents. If the region setting and the region of the disc do not match, playback is not possible.
Unless your external display is compliant with the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard, you cannot play or view the contents
of copyright protected Blu-ray Discs.
Some contents may restrict video output to be standard definition or prohibit analog video output at all. It is strongly recommended that digital HDCP-
compliant environment be implemented for optimum compatibility and viewing quality.
Notes on writing data to a disc
Use only Sony recommended software, which is preinstalled on your computer, to write data to a disc.
Other software programs may not be fully compatible and errors may result.
To make data on a disc readable on the optical disc drive, you need to close the session before you eject it. To complete
this process, follow the instructions included with your software.
Only use circular discs. Do not use discs in any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage the optical disc
drive.
Do not strike or shake your computer while writing data to a disc.
Deactivate the screen saver and exit anti-virus software before writing data to a disc.
Do not use memory-resident utility software while writing data to a disc. This may cause your computer to malfunction.
When using your software application to burn discs, make sure you exit and close all other applications.
Do not switch to power saving modes while using the preinstalled software or any disc burning software.
