CD/DVD Drive

Region code setting

DVD-Video are allocated to region codes according to where they are sold. To play a DVD-Video, the player's software and
the drive must have the corresponding region code.
e.g.,
For U.S.A. and Canada: "1"
For Europe: "2"
For Southeast Asia (including Hong Kong and Taiwan): "3"
The region code of the drive is not set at purchase. The operation depends on the DVD-Video that is first played.
• DVD-Video with a specific region code:
The drive will automatically be set at the same region code as the DVD-Video.
• DVD-Video with multiple region codes:
The screen to confirm the region code appears. (It may not appear with some DVD-Video.)
CAUTION
You can change the region code setting up to five times including the initial setting. Be extremely careful because you
cannot change the region code anymore after the fifth change, even if you reinstall the operating system.
Any problem resulting from illegal changing or altering of the region code is the user's responsibility.
NOTE
To check the current region code and the number of remaining times of changing the code, right-click on the WinDVD
screen and click [Setup] - [Region].

Inserting/Removing a Disc

1
Turn on the computer.
2
Slide the drive power/open switch (A) to the right.
If the CD/DVD drive indicator is off (drive power is off), it will take some time for
the drive power to turn on, and for the disc cover to open. Wait for a moment.
3
Raise the disc cover a little.
Do not force it open any wider than about 75 degrees. If you accidentally do so,
press the cover forward slowly until the stopper returns to its original position.
If the disc cover cannot open if a hand is on the disc cover or the display is closed,
the drive will not be accessed correctly. In this case, open and close the disc
cover once or restart the computer.
