Topic: I cannot play a DVD
❑ If a region code warning appears when you are using the DVD player, it
could be that the DVD you are trying to play is incompatible with the
DVD-ROM drive in your VAIO Digital Studio
™
Computer. The region code
is listed on the disc’s packaging. Region code indicators such as “1” or
“ALL” are labeled on some DVDs to indicate what type of player can play
the disc. Unless a “1” or “ALL” appears on the DVD or on the packaging,
you cannot play the disc on this computer.

1 Click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
2 Click Control Panel.
3 Click Display.
4 Click the Settings tab.
5 Change the screen area and color.
6 Click OK.

damaged.
