The drives installed in your PC are appropriately labeled to allow you to easily select the desired drive. The table below shows which media you can use in which drive: Medium CD DVD CD-R/-RW DVD-R/-RW CD-ReWriter DVD DVD-ReWriter * * Whether or not you can use a disc in a particular drive depends on whether the format is supported by the drive and the operating system. So for example, a CD that has been created for another operating system may not be readable. * Writable media for DVD (DVD-R/RW) must be compatible with your drive type. There are various formats (DVD-R, DVD+R, etc. ), which are not compatible with each other. The specified writing speed must also be supported by your drive. Since this technology is still very new, incompatibilities may still occur even if the correct media are used. We therefore recommend that you use only branded blank media and that you check these for compatibility with your devices. Blank CD's, however, do not really cause any problems and can generally be written to without hesitation with your CD- or DVD-writer (where present). Nevertheless, we recommend that you check which media suit your devices best. OPERATION 41 LOADING A DISK: Attention: Do not place protective foils or other stickers on your CD's. A DVD drive can also read both DVD-ROMs and CD-ROMs, providing the user access to an astounding amount of media.

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. [. . . ] This receipt will be required for receiving any warranty service.
