Optical Disc Drive
An ATAPI interface controller is used for optical disc operation. When the
computer is accessing an optical disc, an indicator on the system glows.
Region codes for BD drive and media
Optical disc drives and their associated media are manufactured according
to the specifications of three marketing regions. Region codes can be set
from WinDVD BD([Region] tab in [Setup] dialogue). When you purchase
BD Video, make sure it matches your drive, otherwise it will not play
properly.
