[. . . ] In order to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video titles are released for specific geographic regions as defined in "Region Definitions" below. Copyright laws require that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded to the region at which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions, CSS design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS encrypted content must only be capable of playing one region. The region setting may be changed up to five times using the viewer software, then it can only play DVD movies for the last region setting. 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 at the expense of the user.

4. Using the Notebook PC Using a CD
A CD drive letter should be present regardless of the presence of a CD disc in the drive. After the CD is properly inserted, data can be accessed just like with hard disk drives; except that nothing can be written to or changed on the CD. Vibration is normal for all high-speed CD-ROM drives due to unbalanced CDs or CD print. To decrease vibration, use the Notebook PC on an even surface and do not place labels on the CD.
Removing a CD
Remove the CD by slowly lifting the CD off the tray by holding the edge of the CD. Do not touch the bottom-side of the CD where data is read from.
Listening to Audio CD
Both the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drive can play audio CDs, but only the DVD-ROM drive can play DVD audio. The CardBus socket is backward-compatible with 16-bit PC Cards serving at 5 volts operation while CardBus operates at 3. 3 volts to reduce power consumption. As part of the Notebook PC's advanced architecture, the Zoomed Video specification provides for full frame-rate video display channel for applications like MPEG decoders for movies and games, TV tuners, live video input, video capturing, and video conferencing. The Zoomed Video (ZV) Port allows video data on a PC Card to be transferred directly into the VGA frame buffer, bypassing the CPU and PCI system bus. It can promise a high quality real-time full-motion video playback without holding back the CPU and system bus performance.
