Chapter 2. Using the CD-RW/DVD drive

This section provides information on how to handle, load, and care for DVDs

and CDs and how to care for your CD-RW/DVD drive.

Before you begin

For best results, review the following guidelines before using the drive:

vDo not move your ThinkPad computer while formatting or writing a disc as

this might cause data errors. Also, minimize typing while formatting or

writing to a disc, as this might also cause data errors.

vKeep the ThinkPad computer on a flat surface when writing to a disc.

vMake sure the ThinkPad computer is plugged into an ac outlet when using

the drive. The disc might be damaged if the battery runs out while writing

to a disc.

vTurn screensavers off. Using a screensaver might interrupt the formatting

and writing process.

vDo not put your ThinkPad computer into hibernation or suspend mode

while writing to a disc.

Note: The read and write results of the drive depend upon the quality and

characteristics of the DVD or CD media used.

Handling and caring for a disc

Carefully handle and clean discs, especially writable media types such as CD-R

and CD-RW discs, so that they remain readable. You can prolong the life of

your discs by using the following precautions:

vAlways store CD ROMs in their original packaging

vAlways store CD ROMs out of direct sunlight

vAlways store CD ROMs away from direct heat sources

vRemove CD ROMs from the computer when not in use

vCheck CD ROM for cracks BEFORE each use

vDO NOT force CD ROMs into the computer/packaging

vDO NOT bend or flex CD ROMs

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use CD ROMs that are cracked.

Attention: Wiping a disc using a circular motion can cause data loss.

vHandle a disc by the edges or the center hole. Do not touch the surface of a

disc.

vTo remove dust or fingerprints, wipe a disc from the center to the edge with

a soft, lint-free cloth.

vDo not write on the surface of a disc.

vDo not place a disc in direct sunlight.

vDo not use commercial cleaners to clean a disc.

vDo not bend a disc.

vRemove the disc from the drive before moving the drive.

vDo not insert foreign objects into the drive.

vDo not stack objects on the drive.

vDo not remove the drive cover or attempt to service the drive.

vDo not operate the drive under any of the following conditions:

– High temperature, high humidity, or direct sunlight

– Excessive vibration, sudden shock, or inclined surface

Installing WinDVD and viewing a DVD movie

To install WinDVD, go to the ″Software″section of the Software and User’s Guide

CD.

After you install the CD-RW/DVD drive and WinDVD, you can view a DVD

movie. But first you need to set the DVD region code for your DVD content.

DVD region codes

DVD region codes help protect the contents of a DVD. The world is divided

into six regions and specific content can be viewed only in the appropriate

region. For example, content for Region 1 can be viewed only in the U.S. and

Canada. WinDVD is also region–specific.

You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region code

symbol on the back of the content packaging.

Region code Region

1 U.S., Canada

2 Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan

3 Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea

4 Latin America, Australia, New Zealand

5 Former Soviet Union, North Africa, India

6 People’s Republic of China

Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the drive. The region code is

automatically set and you can view the movie. This is the initial setting.

After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD with a different region

code, you are prompted to change the region code. You can change the region

code from your initial setting up to four times.

After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is

fixed and can no longer be changed. Thereafter, you can play DVD content

only from that region.

Chapter 2. Using the CD-RW/DVD drive 7

To display the region code status, click the WinDVD Properties buttononthe

WinDVD user interface. The General tab contains this information.

Starting WinDVD

To start WinDVD, complete the following procedure:

1. Click Start.

2. Click Programs.

3. Click InterVideo WinDVD.

4. Click InterVideo WinDVD to open the DVD movie player window.

For more information on how to play the DVD movie player, refer to the

WinDVD help information on the Software and User’s Guide CD. If you want

to watch a DVD movie on your TV, refer to the online information

provided with your computer.

Notes:

1. Your computer has been configured to provide the highest quality audio

and video playback obtainable with the available system resources. You can

alter the default settings by changing the video resolution setting within the

Control Panel. Some systems do not have enough resources to provide

full-quality audio and video playback at all resolution settings. If you

experience poor playback performance, adjust the resolution to a lower

setting.

2. Audio or video streams are decoded by software. The audio and video

subsystems need to be fully functional and enabled.

Using the CD-R and CD-RW function

The CD-RW/DVD drive can write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-R discs

cannot be erased, but can be used with standard CD-ROM drives and CD

players.

You can use CD-R discs to record audio tracks, store data, archive files, and

copy files from another CD.

CD-RW discs can be erased and rewritten, but can be used only with newer

MR- and CD-RW-compatible CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. You can use

CD-RW discs to back up, store, and update files or to copy files from another

CD.

Notes:

1. CD-R discs are playable on audio CD players. CD-RW discs are not

playable on most audio CD players.

2. The software included with this drive does not enable the drive

CD-recording capabilities with DOS, Windows 3.x, or IBM OS/2

operating

systems.

8ThinkPad CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Ultrabay Slim Drive: User’s Guide

For more information on using the software, refer to the IBM RecordNow and

IBM DLA help information on the Software and User’s Guide CD.

Backing up a CD

To copy a commercial CD, you must own the copyright or obtain permission

from the copyright owner. If you do not own the copyright or do not obtain

permission from the copyright owner, you might be violating copyright law

and might be subject to payment of damages or other remedies. For more

information on copyright law, consult your legal advisor.

Problem solving

Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. The

information in this section might be useful to help you solve problems or to

gather helpful information you can pass on to a service technician. You might

also need to refer to your computer, operating-system, or sound-adapter

publications.

Review the following list for any problem descriptions that might fit your

situation.

You cannot create a multisession disc.

Be sure that there is enough space left on the disc for another session. Writing

a session requires lead-in and lead-out space (about 15 MB) in addition to the

data that is recorded.

You cannot successfully write to a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

Take the following actions:

1. Verify that the process is not being interrupted by a screen saver, an

antivirus program, an Internet or e-mail program, or other software.

Disable the functions that might interrupt the write operation.

2. Verify that the hard disk has been defragmented.

3. Consult the hard disk drive manufacturer or vendor if an older hard disk

drive is conducting a thermal recalibration during a write operation.

4. Replace the CD if it is bad or scratched.

5. Disable the Windows Auto Insert Notify function on your CD-ROM and

CD-RW drives.

Chapter 2. Using the CD-RW/DVD drive 9

You cannot eject a CD.

Take the following actions after ensuring that the drive is not in the process of

writing to a disc:

1. Eject the CD through software.

2. Use the Eject button.

3. Turn off the computer. Wait 45 seconds; then turn on the computer and try

using the Eject button again.

4. If other methods do not work, use the manual-eject hole, using instructions

given in “Manually ejecting a disc” on page 5.

You cannot read from the CD after successfully writing to it.

Take the following actions:

1. If you can read the CD in another CD player or you can see previous

sessions, the directory information might be damaged on the volume,

making it unreadable. To get ideas for troubleshooting, check the

documentation that comes with the software.

2. You might have a damaged CD-R or CD-RW disc. Try a new CD-R disc or

CD-RW disc, or another brand of CD.

3. If you can read from a CD-RW disc in the writing drive, but not in another

MR drive, be sure that a UDF Reader program is installed in the computer.

4. Avoid writing at the slower 1X speed unless required by your computer.
