The CD-RW software running under Windows NT does not support ACPI functions, and the system may go into a Save-to-File state even though the drive is busy. Note Disable the Save-to-File feature before creating CDs under Windows NT. If the system goes into a Save-to-File state during CD creation, the resulting CD will have errors, and will have to be created again. While the CD creation does resume once the system comes out of the Save-to-File state, the message, "Errors reported by output device" appears, and the resulting CD does not function properly. [. . . ] For detailed information on power management, see your NEC Versa user's guide. Using the Password Feature The password feature allows you to set parental controls for playing rated videodiscs. You can set protection levels according to Movie Industry standards, so you can control which videodiscs can be played. Protection levels are password-protected. Note that if the protection level is changed, that level is maintained even after the system is rebooted, until the password is entered again and the level is changed back. [. . . ]
