Playing DVD content
Note: This feature is only available on certain models.
When the DVD drive module is installed in the optical drive bay, you can play DVD
content on your computer.
1 Eject the DVD.
Important! When you launch the DVD player for the first time, the
program asks you to enter the region code. DVD disks are divided
into 6 regions. Once your DVD drive is set to a region code, it will play
DVD disks of that region only. You can set the region code a
maximum of five times (including the first time), after which the last
region code set will remain permanent. Recovering your hard disk
does not reset the number of times the region code has been set.
Refer to the table below for DVD movie region code information.
2 The DVD movie will automatically play after a few seconds.
Note: To change the region code, insert a DVD movie of a different
region into the DVD drive. Please refer to the online help for more
information.
