DVD-ROM Drive Information

The Notebook PC comes with an optional DVD-ROM drive or a CD-ROM drive. In order to view

DVD titles, you must install your own DVD viewer software. Optional DVD viewer software may be

purchased with this Notebook PC. The DVD-ROM drive allows the use of both CD and DVD discs.

Regional Playback Information

Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio and decryption of CSS

protected content. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name given to the content protection scheme

adopted by the motion picture industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content duplication.

Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is most relevant is playback

restrictions on regionalized content. In order to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases, DVD

video titles are released for specific geographic regions as defined in “Region Definitions” below. Copyright

laws require that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded to the region at which it is

sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions, CSS design rules require that any

system capable of playing CSS encrypted content must only be capable of playing one region.

NOTE: The region setting may be changed up to five times using the viewer software,

then it can only play DVD movies for the last region setting. 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 at the expense of the user.
