DVD-ROM Drive Information 
(on selected models)
The DVD-ROM drive allows you to view and create your own CDs and DVDs. You can purchase an optional DVD viewer software to view DVD titles. 
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 th\нat is most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In order\н to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video titles are released f\нor specific geographic regions as defined in “Region Definitions” below. C\нopyright laws require that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded to\н the region at which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple\н regions, CSS design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS encrypted co\нntent must only be capable of playing one region.
IMPORTANT! 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.

Internal Modem Compliancy
The Notebook PC with internal modem model complies with JATE (Japan), FCC (US, Canada, Korea, Taiwan), and CTR21. The internal modem has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.

Overview
On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 21 has been published in the Official Journal of the EC. The CTR 21 applies to all non voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). 
CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony justified case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of dual tone multi-frequency signalling.
Network Compatibility Declaration
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notified Body and the vendor: “This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any notified networks with which the equipment may have inter-working difficulties.”
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any notified networks with which the equipment may have inter-working difficulties. The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on another network.”
Up to now the Notified Body of CETECOM issued several pan-European approvals using CTR 21. The results are Europe’s first modems which do not require regulatory approvals in each individual European country.
Non-Voice Equipment 
Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded.

1 National requirements will apply only if the equipment may use pulse dialling (manufacturers may state in the user guide that the equipment is only intended to support DTMF signalling, which would make any additional testing superfluous).
In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series connection and caller ID facilities.

Interference Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
•	 This	device	may	not	cause	harmful	interference.
•	 This	device	must	accept	any	interference	received,	including	interference	that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a\н class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Comm\нission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protectio\нn against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment gener\нates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in\н accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica\нtions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a par\нticular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio\н or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on\н, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the f\нollowing measures:
•	 Reorient	or	relocate	the	receiving	antenna.
•	 Increase	the	separation	between	the	equipment	and	receiver.
