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.
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. Copy
-
right 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.
