Playback Software
You must install the DVD playback software to your computer first. If you do not have any
DVD playback software installed in your computer, the included DVD playback software in
the CD kit will bring you the best playback result.
You can immediately play Audio CDs and pre-recorded DVD discs, including movies and
other DVDs. To play a CD or a Digital Video Disc (DVD), insert the disc with the label up
(for CDs). This DVD Writer plays both single-layer and dual-layer DVDs.
Playing Audio CDs
In order to listen to an audio CD, connect an audio cable to the analog audio connector on the
rear of the drive and connect the other end to your sound board.
To listen to music through the computer’s sound board, you can control volume with the
volume control on the Windows Media Player or CD Player Taskbar. You can also mute the
sound on your sound board and listen to music through headphones or self-powered speakers.
Playing DVDs for the First Time
A code on some DVDs allows them to be played only in a certain regional area, such as North
America, Europe, etc. When the DVD Writer ships, there is no region code set. The first
time a DVD that has a region setting is inserted into the DVD Writer, the act of inserting the
DVD sets the drive to that region code.
If you later insert a DVD with a different region code, you are prompted to either accept
changing the region code or not. If you do not accept the change, then that DVD will not play.
If you do accept the change, then the DVD Writer’s region code setting is changed.
But
advised that you may change the DVD Writer’s region code only 5 times. After that,
you will not be able to change your drive’s code setting.
