Playing Back And Retrieving Data From Discs; Regional Playback Information For Dvd - Medion AKOYA P7812 Instruction Manual

Playing Back and Retrieving Data from Discs

Your notebook is able to playback and retrieve information on Audio CDs, DVD Movies
and Data discs.
After loading the disc your operating system will open a selection window with different
options for playback. Normally there are various programs at your disposal.
If your operating system doesn't open the selection window you can still access the
contents via the "Windows Explorer" or "Computer" programs.

Regional Playback Information for DVD

The playback of DVD movies includes the decoding of MPEG2 videos, digital AC3 audio
data and the deciphering of CSS protected contents.
CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name of a data protection program incorporated
by the movie industry as an action against illegal copies.
Among the numerous regulations for CSS licensees the most important ones are the
country specific playback restrictions.
In order to facilitate the geographically restricted release of movies, DVD titles are released
for certain regions. Copyright laws require the restriction of each DVD movie to a certain
region (usually the region in which it is sold).
DVD movie versions can be published in several regions but the CSS regulations require
that each CSS decipherable system may only be used in one region.
Note
The decoding software included with your notebook may be changed
for regional DVD decoding up to five times, after which the drive will
only play DVD movies for the region setting last entered. Changing the
region code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered
by warranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be
billed to the user.
