Notes on playing discs
To achieve optimum performance when playing discs, you should follow these recommendations.
❑
Some CD players and computer optical disc drives may not be able to play audio CDs created with the CD-R or CD-RW
media.
❑
Some DVD players and computer optical disc drives may not be able to play DVDs created with the DVD+R DL, DVD-R
DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM media.
❑
Do not place your computer into either of the power saving modes while your computer is playing a disc.

Region code indicators are labeled on the discs or packages to indicate in which region and on what type of player you
can play the disc. If the region code indicates "all," you can play this disc in most regions of the world. If the region code
for your residence area is different from the label, you cannot play the disc on your computer.
