How to use DVD±R/RW and other discs
Important
The DVD Writer lets you write DVD±RW discs with Nero Express and enables "packet
writing" (high-speed recording) with InCD.
The drive also lets you write DVD±R discs with Nero Express.
Caution
It is illegal to make unauthorized copies of DVD or software titles. A person who
makes illegal copies can be held responsible for copyright infringement.
If you use low-quality discs, this can increase the recording time or make it
impossible to use the disc.
How to use DVD±R/RW and other discs
After your computer recognizes the [CD-ROM] icon designated to the BD-ROM/DVD
writer as the 'E:' drive, insert a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM disc and make sure that the
inserted disc is recognized.

You can use the drive to play commercial DVD titles:
Most DVD titles in the market use the Dolby sound system.
It is necessary to install software that supports Dolby decoding on your PC before
you can play a DVD title with this drive.
How to get commercial software that supports Dolby decoding.
Go to the website of Nero:http://www.nero.com
(You can also use other compliant software)
DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC)
DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC):
The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-video discs (such as
movies). The motion picture industry has divided the world into different regions that
correspond to the regional markets into which the motion picture industry releases movies.
Movies worldwide have RPC codes, based on the region of the world in which they are
being sold. These RPC codes help to control and prevent pirating of new movies into other
motion picture regions before their release within those markets.
Therefore, this drive supports RPC phase II. In the RPC-2 mode, users can change the
local code. RPC-2 is selected by default for this drive.
