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. However, when conducting a background format on +RW using B’s CLiP, the media

can be removed by operating B’s CLiP even when the drive is being accessed. (

page

20)

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

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.

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 14.

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.

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].)

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.

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

Using the Drive

When writing to discs

Read the instructions on the disc package carefully.

With DVD-RAM, you can write or rewrite as with the hard disk using Explorer, without

using the writing software. (DVD-RAM driver is required. Refer to page 12 on how to

install the software.)

Writing software is required to write data to a disc other than DVD-RAM.

Install “B’s Recorder” and “B’s CLiP” using “DVD Drive Utility Disc” (included).

(

page 17)

Be sure to use discs conforming to the proper write speeds. ( page 24)

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.

Be sure to use discs that meet the following specifications.

DVD-R for General Ver.2.0 (4.7 GB)

DVD-R for General Ver.2.0/4X-SPEED DVD-R REVISION 1.0 (4.7 GB)

DVD-R for General Ver.2.0/8X-SPEED DVD-R REVISION 3.0 (4.7 GB)

DVD-RW Ver.1.1 (4.7 GB)

DVD-RW Ver.1.1/2X-SPEED DVD-RW REVISION 1.0 (4.7 GB)

DVD-RW Ver.1.2/4X-SPEED DVD-RW REVISION 2.0 (4.7 GB)

DVD-RAM Ver.2.0 or Ver.2.1 (4.7 GB/9.4 GB)

mend using any of the following discs.
