Part Number: 27L8601 ThinkPad 770X User's Reference Supplement This supplement provides corrections to and additional information for the ThinkPad 770X User's Reference (part number 27L3407). Read this supplement with the User's Reference. Setting the DVD Region Code If you want to view a DVD movie on your computer, you need to set the DVD region code. You can set the region code when you start DVD Express for the first time. For instructions for setting the region code, read this flyer instead of the Online User's Guide. DVD Region Codes: Regional coding is part of the protection scheme for DVD content. The world is divided into six regions, so that specific content can be viewed only in the region where it is appropriate. For example, Region 1 (U.S. and Canada) content can be viewed only in Region 1. The DVD Movie Player Program application is also region­specific. You must select a region to play DVD content. After you have selected a region, you can play content only from that region. An incorrect region code setting causes your computer to hang; you can recover your computer only with the Recovery CD. Attention Make sure the first DVD content you play is from the appropriate region. You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region code symbol on the back of the content packaging. If the first DVD you play is from a region other than the region you selected, your system will no longer play DVD content. Recover your system using the Recovery CD. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1998 1 To set the region code, do as follows: 1 Click on Start, move the cursor to Programs and Mediamatics DVD Express, and then click on Mediamatics DVD Player.
