Using Your VAIO Computer
!
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 with a DVD recorded layer on one side and a digital audio layer 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.
Except the Blu-ray Disc drive, installed on selected models only, all other optical disc drives are capable of reading 8 cm discs with the supplied 8 cm
disc adapter.
With the supplied 8 cm disc adapter, the Blu-ray Disc drive, installed on selected models only, is capable of reading 8 cm DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW,

!
To play copyright protected Blu-ray Disc media continuously, you need to update the AACS key. Note that 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 format at high bit rates.
Region settings are required for some contents on DVDs 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.
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.
