If the vibration of the drive is excessive, check to see if the disc is inserted correctly, and check that the disc is in good condition. If the disc is good and inserted correctly, set [CD/DVD Drive Speed] or [CD Drive Speed] to [Low] in the Setup Utility. CAUTION Power-saving Mode If the drive has not been accessed within 30 seconds, the drive motor will automatically shut down to reduce the power consumption. When the drive is accessed once again, the power of the drive motor is turned on. However, approximately 30 seconds are required until data is actually read from the disc. Information Information To play DVD-Video or MPEG2 files, install the DVD playback software using DVD Drive Utility Disc (included). For information on how to install the software, refer to page 11. CD-RW discs cannot be read using any other drives that do not support CD-RW discs. For further details, contact the manufacturer of each drive concerned. When playing back movies from a disc, note that smooth playback may not be possible in some cases. About Regions Setting DVD-Videos usually have a region code that is fixed according to the region where they are sold. In order to play a DVD-Video, the region code of the player software and of the drive must match that of the DVD-Video. For U.S.A. and Canada: “1” For Europe: “2” This drive’s region code is not set at the time of shipment from the factory. Therefore, operations will differ depending on the first DVD-Video played. In the case of a DVD-Video with a specific region code: The drive and player software will automatically be set to the same region code as the DVD-Video. In the case of a DVD-Video with multiple region codes: [Confirm Region] appears. Select region code of the drive and the player software, and select [OK]. Play now begins. ([Confirm Region] may not appear for some DVD-Videos. To confirm the current region code of the drive and the number of settings remaining, right-click on the WinDVD screen and select [Setup] - [Region].) E The region code of the drive can be set a total of five times, including the initial setting. Proceed very carefully, because after the fourth change has been made, the region code set last is fixed and no further changes can be made. The user must take responsibility for any trouble that results from illegally changing or altering the region code. CAUTION NOTE [Confirm Region] will also be displayed if a DVD-Video with one region code is inserted into a drive for which another region code has already been set.
