Playing DVD movies

When a DVD ROM or DVD/CD RW combo drive module is installed in 

the optical drive bay, you can play DVD movies on your computer.

1

Eject the DVD tray and insert a DVD disc; then close the DVD tray.

Important! When you launch the DVD player for the first time, 

the program asks you to input the region code. DVD discs are 

divided into 6 regions. Once your DVD drive is set to a region 

code, it will play DVD discs of that region only. You can set the 

region code a maximum of five times (including the first time), 

after which the last region code set will remain permanent.  

Recovering your hard disk does not reset the number of times the 

region code has been set. Refer to the table below for DVD movie 

region code information.

The DVD movie will automatically play after a few seconds.
