TOSHIBA External SuperMulti Drive
How to Use DVD±R/RW and Other Discs
The External SuperMulti Drive allows writing DVD±R/RW discs using
Burn Now in Windows XP/Vista. The CD we provide does not include any
data writing application for Linux OS. We recommend that you use
“Brasero” for data writing in Linux. TOSHIBA cannot guarantee this
software. You can download it from the following website:
http://projects.gnome.org/brasero.
You can use the External SuperMulti Drive to playback music CDs, CD-
ROM, CD-R/RW, or DVD-ROM discs, like a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-
ROM drive. If your computer recognizes the [CD-ROM] icon designated to
the External SuperMulti Drive as the ‘E:’ drive, insert a CD-ROM or a
DVD-ROM disc and access the ‘E:’ drive.
If you want to use this product to play a commercial DVD-Video title
(“DVD title’)
n
Most of DVD titles on the market use the Dolby sound system.
You are required to install software that supports Dolby decoding on
your PC before you can play a DVD title using the drive purchased.
Unauthorized copying of DVDs or software titles is illegal
and the individuals that make illegal copies will be held
responsible for any copyright infringement.
Using low-quality discs may lengthen the recording time
or may not be supported due to reduction in double
speed.
DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC)
The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-
video discs (such as movies). Currently, the motion picture industry has
divided the world into different regions or zones that correspond to the
regional markets into which the motion picture industry releases
movies. Simply put, RPC codes are placed on movies marketed
throughout the world, based on the region of the world in which they are
being sold. These RPC codes help control and prevent pirating of new
movies into other motion picture regions prior to their true release dates
within those markets.
The External SuperMulti Drive supports RPC phase II. In the RPC-2
mode, the local code can be changed by users. RPC-2 is selected by
default for the External SuperMulti Drive.
You can change the region code up to five times via an MPEG
application.
Please contact your dealer or local TOSHIBA representative if you wish
to change the local code more than five times.
