Operation How to remove a disc Connecting Safety Regional playback information for DVD The playback of DVD movies includes the decoding of MPEG2 videos, digital AC3 audio data and the deciphering of CSS protected contents. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name of a data protection program incorporated by the movie industry as an action against illegal copies. Among the numerous regulations for CSS licensees the most important ones are the country specific playback restrictions. In order to facilitate the geographically restricted release of movies, DVD titles are released for certain regions. Copyright laws require the restriction of each DVD movie to a certain region (usually the region, in which it is sold). DVD movie versions can be published in several regions but the CSS regulations require that each CSS decipherable system may only be used in one region. The decoding software included with your PC may be changed for regional DVD decoding up to five times, after which the drive will only play DVD movies for the region setting last entered. 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 billed to the user. 40 THE OPTICAL DRIVE Subjects concerning the CD/DVD-Rewriter You receive information on the so-called blank discs. These media, requiring a CD rewriter (burner) to produce CDs are called CD recordable (CD-R) or CD rewritable (CD-RW). [. . . ] Economic follow-on damage (including lost profit or savings) or associated damage even in the case that we have been informed of the possibilities of this type of damage. In some countries the exclusion or limitation of accompanying or follow-on damage is not legally accepted so that the above limitations do not come into force.
