•	Windows 7) sleep /  
(
Windows XP) standby or hibernation, remove the disc from the drive and then reinsert it after waiting

Power-saving Mode 
„
If the drive is not accessed for 30 seconds, the drive motor will automatically be shut down to reduce the 
power consumption. When the drive is accessed again, the drive motor is turned on. In this case, reading of 
the disc data will take approximately 30 seconds.
To play DVD-Video or MPEG2 files 
„
Install the DVD playback software using “DVD Drive Utility Disc”.
For information on how to install the software, refer to “Operating Instructions Software Guide” with “DVD 
Drive Utility Disc”.
Region Code Setting 
„
DVD-Videos are allocated to region codes according to where they are sold. To play a DVD-Video, the play-
er’s software and the drive must have the corresponding region code.
e.g.,
For U.S.A. and Canada: “1”
For Europe: “2”
Using the Drive 
						

							12
The region code of the drive is not set at purchase. The operation depends on the DVD-Video that is first  
●
played.
DVD-Video with a specific region code: 
•	
The drive will automatically be set at the same region code as the DVD-Video.
DVD-Video with multiple region codes: 
•	
The screen to change the region code appears. Set the region code.
CAUTION
You can change the region code setting up to five times including the initial setting. Be extremely careful  
●
because you cannot change the region code anymore after the fifth change, even if you reinstalled the 
operating system.
Any problem resulting from illegal changing or altering of the region code is the user’s responsibility.
 
●
NOTE
The screen to change the region code appears when the DVD-Video has only one region code and the  
●
drive is set for another region code.
Writing to Discs 
„
Windows 7 
● 
Windows 7 includes the standard function that enables you to write or rewrite data to a disc.
Windows 7 
● 
You can copy a CD/DVD or create a music CD, data CD/DVD, etc. by installing “Roxio Creator LJB” us-
ing the “DVD Drive Utility Disc”.
Windows XP 
● 
Writing software is required to write data to a disc other than DVD-RAM. 
Install “DVD-RAM Software” and “Roxio Creator LJB” using “DVD Drive Utility Disc”.
Be sure to use discs conforming to the proper write speeds. (
 
● page 17)
If the write operation is to involve a long period of time, be sure to connect the AC adaptor of the com-
 
●
puter. If the battery power runs low and the power of the computer is cut, the write operation may end in 
failure.
You can read from/write to the following discs.
