Securing a disc in a vertically mounted drive
The drive has four retainers molded into the loading tray for vertical mounting operation.
To insert a disc, place it in the lower two retainers before closing the tray.
To remove a disc, open the tray and lift the disc from the two lower retainers.
Manually ejecting a disc
If the drive becomes inoperable and will not eject the disc, turn off the computer and straighten a large paper clip to form a tool. The straightened end must extend at least 45 mm (1.8 in.). Insert the extended end into the emergency eject hole on the front of the drive (see ???Front view of the drive??? on page
Push the paper clip until the tray opens. Gently pull out the tray until you can remove the disc.
Using the DVD Player software
This section describes how to use and customize the DVD Player software. You can find current information on DVD Player software in the readme file on the User???s Guide and Software Disc 1.
Before using the software
WinDVD requires a compatible video device driver and IDE bus mastering in order to work. See Appendix C, ???Customizing the device driver configuration settings??? on page
Using the DVD Player
When you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, the DVD Player software will automatically load and begin to play the video disc. If the DVD disc contains both video and program content, the program content will automatically play.
To view the video content of a video/program DVD disc, go to the Start menu, launch WinDVD, and click Play.
In Microsoft Windows XP, you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows Media Player application.
Changing the DVD region code
Regionalization and Copy Protection (the DVD region code) uses the content scramble system (CSS) standard to prevent unauthorized duplication of the intellectual property rights distributed on DVDs. It was originally requested by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to address video piracy, but is applicable to any content. CSS works by inhibiting the transmission of unencrypted data without proper authorization. Playback systems must license CSS to decode the encrypted data.
The CSS specification divides the world into seven unique regions. Content designated for one region cannot be read by playback systems in another region. While CSS is used to prevent digital copies of the DVD content, another technology devised by Macrovision is used to prevent analog copies of the DVD content. The Macrovision standard is a scrambling system widely used by the movie industry to prevent unauthorized duplication of video content using commercial VCRs. DVD playback systems must support both CSS and Macrovision copy protection standards.
The first time that you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, you will be prompted to set the region. If you relocate to a different region of the world, you can use the DVD Player software to change the region code.
Note: You can change the DVD region code only five times. After you make five region code changes, the drive can play only
To change the region code, do the following:
1.Turn on your computer and start your operating system.

PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU
MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY
PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Items Not Covered by Warranty: IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or your reseller. If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase.
During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and exchange service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion, IBM or your reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and 2) provide the service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units (called ???CRUs???), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs to you for replacement by you. You must
Appendix D. Warranty information
return all defective CRUs to IBM within 30 days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for downloading designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that IBM provides.
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part.
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to
1.ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;
2.obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not own; and
3.where applicable, before service is provided:
a.follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;
b.secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;
c.provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and
d.inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine???s location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM???s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.
Limitation of Liability: Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM???s part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1.damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property; and
2.the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring, 12 months??? charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For purposes of this item, the term ???Machine??? includes Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code.
This limit also applies to IBM???s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1)
CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM
LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR
RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE
ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
