Ergonomic Considerations

You will be using your computer as a portable device in a variety of environments. Whenever possible, you should attempt

to take account of the following ergonomic considerations for both stationary and portable environments:

❑Position of your computer – Place the computer directly in front of you (1). Keep your forearms horizontal (2), with your

wrists in a neutral, comfortable position (3) while using the keyboard or the pointing device. Let your upper arms hang

naturally at your sides. Take frequent breaks while using your computer. Excessive use of the computer may strain eyes,

muscles, or tendons.

❑Furniture and posture – Sit in a chair with good back support. Adjust the level of the chair so your feet are flat on the

floor. A footrest may make you more comfortable. Sit in a relaxed, upright posture and avoid slouching forward or leaning

far backwards.

Using the Optical Disc Drive

This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc Digital Audio standard specifications (CD Standard). A DualDisc is a two

sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. Be aware that the audio side (non-DVD

side) of a DualDisc may not play on this product because it does not conform to the CD Standard.

When you buy pre-recorded or blank discs for use with your VAIO computer, be sure to read the notices on the disc package carefully to check both

playback and recording compatibility with your computer's optical disc drives. Sony does NOT guarantee the compatibility of VAIO optical disc drives

with discs that are not compliant with the official "CD," "DVD," or "Blu-ray Disc" standard. USING NON-COMPLIANT DISCS CAN CAUSE FATAL DAMAGE

TO YOUR VAIO PC OR CREATE SOFTWARE CONFLICTS AND CAUSE SYSTEM HANGING.

For inquiries about disc formats, contact the individual publisher of the pre-recorded disc or the manufacturer of the recordable disc.

✍

8 cm disc writing is not supported.

To play copyright protected Blu-ray Disc media continually, update the AACS key. The AACS key update requires Internet access.

As with other optical media devices, circumstances may limit compatibility or prevent Blu-ray Disc media playback. VAIO computers may not support

movie playback on packaged media recorded in AVC or VC1 formats at high bit rates.

Region settings are required for some contents on DVD and BD-ROM Disc media. If the region setting on the optical disc drive does not match the

region coding on the disc, playback is not possible.

Unless your external display is compliant with the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard, you cannot play or view the contents

on copyright protected Blu-ray Disc media.

Some contents may restrict video output to standard definition or prohibit analog video output. It is strongly recommended that a digital HDCP

compliant environment be implemented for optimum compatibility and viewing quality.

Do not use memory-resident utility software when playing or writing a disc. This may cause the computer to malfunction.

Using the Optical Disc Drive

Notes on region codes

❑Region code indicators are labeled on the discs or packages to indicate in which region and on what type of player you

can play the disc. If the region code indicates "all," you can play this disc in most regions of the world. If the region code

for your residence area is different from the label, you cannot play the disc on your computer.

To find out the region code for your residence area, see the following table.

If it is your first time to play a DVD video on your computer, follow these steps before inserting the disc:

1Click Start and Computer.

2Right-click the optical disc drive icon and select Properties.

3Click the Hardware tab.

4Select your optical disc drive from the All disk drives list and click Properties.

5Click the DVD Region tab.

6Select an appropriate region from the list and click OK.

Residence area Region code Residence area Region code Residence area Region code

Korea 3 Kuwait* 2 Malaysia* 3

New Zealand* 4 Philippines* 3 Saudi Arabia* 2

Singapore* 3 South Africa* 2 Taiwan 3

Using the Optical Disc Drive

You can change the region code only a limited number of times. When you have exceeded this number, the drive's region code is permanently assigned

and you will not be able to change it again. Reconfiguring your computer does not reset this count.

If you change the region code while the WinDVD or WinDVD BD software is running, restart the software or eject the disc and re-insert it to make the

new setting effective.
