Search
burning app you use. Refer to the help file included with the app for more
information.
It is recommended that you use Sony branded media: DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-
R, DVD-RW, CD-R, CD-RW, BD-R, or BD-RE.
You cannot write data to DVD-RW media (6x writing) unless your optical disc
drive supports at least 6x writing for DVD-RW media.
You cannot write data to DVD+RW media (8x writing) unless your optical disc
drive supports at least 8x writing for DVD+RW media.
Your VAIO computer is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact
Disc (CD) standard. DualDiscs and some music discs encoded with copyright
protection technologies do not conform to the CD standard. Therefore, these
discs may not be compatible with the computer.
When you buy pre-recorded or blank discs for use with your VAIO computer, be
sure to read the notices on the disc package carefully to check both playback
and recording compatibility with your computer's optical disc drives. Sony does
NOT guarantee the compatibility of VAIO optical disc drives with discs that are
not compliant with the official "CD," "DVD," or "Blu-ray Disc" standard. USING
NON-COMPLIANT DISCS CAN CAUSE FATAL DAMAGE TO YOUR VAIO COMPUTER
OR CREATE APP CONFLICTS AND CAUSE SYSTEM HANGING.
For inquiries about disc formats, contact the individual publisher of the pre-
recorded disc or the manufacturer of the recordable disc.
Your VAIO computer needs to be connected to the Internet to play DVD-RW,
DVD-RAM, and DVD-R (single layer or dual layer) media that are compliant with
the Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) standard.
To record, edit, or play copyright protected content, Blu-ray Disc media
employs the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) technology. To use Blu-
ray Disc media continually, you need to update the AACS key.
You can update the AACS key through the Internet. Follow a message displayed
on a recording, editing, or playback app you are using. Without updating the
AACS key, you may become unable to record, edit, or play copyright protected
content.
To record, edit, or play content without copyright protection, you do not need
to update the AACS key. You can update the AACS key for the Blu-ray Disc
recording or playback app installed on your VAIO computer for five years after
purchase. After that, we will inform you about the update on the support
website.
Region settings are required for some contents of DVD and BD-ROM Disc
media. If the region setting on the optical disc drive does not match the region
code on the disc, 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 Disc media through an HDMI connection.
Some Blu-ray Disc content may restrict video output to standard definition or
prohibit analog video output.
