Usage Precautions
Do not place items other than discs on the tray.
Do not leave the tray in the open position or touch the lens.
Under some conditions, dust may build up on the lens, or on a disc. This may result in a
read or write malfunction.
Do not apply excessive force to the tray in the open position, doing so could damage the tray.
Do not open the drive or move the computer while the drive is being accessed.
Doing so could cause it to malfunction.
In addition, after running an application involving access to a disc, do not open the drive
or remove the disc until the application has been closed.
After the tray closes or the computer resumes operation from the standby/hibernation
modes, do not access the drive until the multimedia pocket device status indicator goes
off.
Do not expose the drive to excessive smoke that may leave a residue, i.e. oil smoke, or
tobacco smoke. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive lens.
We recommend cleaning the drive lens with an air puffer used for camera lenses. (Do not
use any spray-type of lens cleaning products.)
Never insert foreign objects such as paper clips into the drive. Doing so could cause it to
malfunction.
Do not use any discs that have become deformed, warped, or are not completely round.
In the case of DVD-RAM, only non-cartridge discs or removable cartridge discs can be
used.
For AutoPlay CDs:
• If an AutoPlay CD does not start after the computer resumes from the standby or hiber-
nation modes, remove the disc from the drive, then reinsert the disc again after a 15
second wait.
• An AutoPlay CD may start during file access, depending on the status of the disc.

Handling Discs with Care:
Before using discs, carefully read through the Operating Instructions, the instructions for
handling the discs, and whatever is written on the disc packaging.
If the discs are not handled properly, they may become dirty or scratched, the writing speed
may be reduced or data may not be recorded or played back properly. Other damage may
result including drive failures.
Keep the following precautions.
Do not touch the data surface.
Keep the disc surfaces clean and free from dirt, dust and fingerprints, and do not allow
them to become scratched.
Do not write on the surface of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other writing instrument nor
paste any paper to it.
Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of discs.
Do not place or store discs in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or dust.
If the disc is brought from a cold into a warm environment, moisture may form on the
disc. Wipe this moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.
When discs are not actually being used, make sure to keep them inside their protective
cases or cartridges.
If the disc becomes dirty, clean it with the followings.
To remove dirt from a disc
Usage Precautions
<For read-only discs>
Wipe a disc with a dry, soft cloth from
the center toward the edges.
If the disc heavily gets dirty, wipe a disc
with a moist, soft cloth from the center toward the edges, and then wipe it again with a
dry cloth to take up remaining moisture.
<For recordable/rewritable discs>
Use the Panasonic disc cleaner to clean these discs.
Do not use a cloth, CD cleaners or any other such cleaners under any circumstances.

Information
To play DVD-Video or MPEG2 files, install the DVD playback software using DVD
Drive Utility Disc (included).
For information on how to install the software, refer to page 11.
CD-RW discs cannot be read using any other drives that do not support CD-RW discs.
For further details, contact the manufacturer of each drive concerned.
When playing back movies from a disc, note that smooth playback may not be possible in
some cases.
About Regions Setting
DVD-Videos usually have a region code that is fixed according to the region where they are
sold. In order to play a DVD-Video, the region code of the player software and of the drive
must match that of the DVD-Video.
<Example>
For U.S.A. and Canada: “1”
For Europe: “2”
This drive’s region code is not set at the time of shipment from the factory. Therefore,
operations will differ depending on the first DVD-Video played.
In the case of a DVD-Video with a specific region code:
The drive and player software will automatically be set to the same region code as the
DVD-Video.
In the case of a DVD-Video with multiple region codes:
[Confirm Region] appears. Select region code of the drive and the player software, and
select [OK]. Play now begins.
([Confirm Region] may not appear for some DVD-Videos. To confirm the current region
code of the drive and the number of settings remaining, right-click on the WinDVD
screen and select [Setup] - [Region].)
The region code of the drive can be set a total of five times, including the initial
setting. Proceed very carefully, because after the fourth change has been made, the
region code set last is fixed and no further changes can be made.
The user must take responsibility for any trouble that results from illegally changing
or altering the region code.
CAUTION
NOTE
[Confirm Region] will also be displayed if a DVD-Video with one region code is
inserted into a drive for which another region code has already been set.

Using the Drive
When writing to CD-R/RW discs
Read the instructions on the disc package carefully.
Using the “DVD Drive Utility Disc” (included), install the CD-R/RW writing software
on your computer. For information on how to install the software, refer to page 15.
Be sure to use discs conforming to the proper write speeds. ( page 20)
If the write operation is to involve a long period of time, be sure to connect the AC
adaptor. If the battery power runs low and the power of the computer is cut, the write
operation may end in failure.
Depending on the disc, the quality of the write operation may not be so good. We rec-
ommend using any of the following discs.

Play of a DVD Created with the DVD Recorder
Playable DVD media: DVD-Video, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW
However, the following restrictions apply.
In order to play DVD-R and DVD-RW, they must be finalized (a process that enables it to
play on other DVD players etc.). For information on the finalizing method used by your
DVD recorder, refer to its operating instructions.
DVD-RW recorded in the VR format can be played with the administrator authority only.
Depending on the DVD recorder or the manufacturer of the media used for creation, it
may not be playable.
Media in which digital broadcasts have been recorded using copyright management tech-
nologies such as CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) cannot be played back.
DVD-Audio cannot be played back on WinDVD.
NOTE
Take steps to ensure that no other player software is allowed to coexist with WinDVD.
It may not be possible to play images properly if any player software other than WinDVD
is installed. There are some DVD-Videos available on the market that work by install-
ing their own player software when they are played. In the case of such a DVD, be
absolutely sure to abort the installation of the player software as soon as the installation
start screen appears. If the software is installed by mistake and the images cannot be
played properly, take the following action and see if it remedies the situation.

B’s Recorder / B’s CLiP

E
Check the settings by following the instructions in
“Preparations” ( page 7).
Is the drive properly mounted in the multimedia
pocket?
Restart the computer.
Is the disc loaded on the tray correctly?
( page 8)
Is the disc bent, scratched, or dirty?
An error may occur if, after the tray has been closed
or operation has been resumed from the standby/
hibernation modes, the drive is accessed before the
Multimedia Pocket device status indicator goes
off. Also, an error may occur if the drive is ac-
cessed by the application software automatically.
In a case like this, remove the disc, re-insert it, and
try again.
Is writing software other than “B’s Recorder” or
“B’s CLiP” installed?
Uninstall the writing software other than “B's Re-
corder” or “B’s CLiP.”
Is the computer powered on?
To remove a disc when the computer is powered
off, insert a sharp object such as the bent-out tip of
a paper clip into the emergency hole. Pushing it
completely to the end will free the tray so that it
can be pulled out.
When using a software such as B’s CLiP that con-
trols the disc removal, remove the disc while re-
ferring to the software’s operating instructions.
Did you touch the eject button when you close the
tray?
