General safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.
Service
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center.
Use only a service provider who is approved to repair your particular product.
Note: Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts are referred to as Customer
Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo expressly identifies CRUs as such, and provides
documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for customers to replace those parts. You
must closely follow all instructions when performing such replacements. Always make sure that
the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source before you
attempt the replacement. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support
Center.
Power cords and power adapters
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer.
Never wrap a power cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in ways
that can cause the cord to fray, crack or crimp. This can present a safety hazard.
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.
Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your cord or power adapter
near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short
circuit, particularly if the cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause
gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on the adapter which can
eventually result in overheating.
Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure that all power cord
connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles.
Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins and/or shows signs of
overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere on the power adapter.
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion or
overheating or where the power cord appears to have been damaged in any way.
Extension cords and related devices
Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies, and power strips that you
use are rated to handle the electrical requirements of the product. Never overload these devices. If power
strips are used, the load should not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more
information if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and input ratings.
Plugs and outlets
If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer equipment appears to be
damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until it is replaced by a qualified electrician.
© Lenovo 2008. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005. vii
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer to obtain a
replacement.
Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only into a grounded electrical
outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-grounded
outlet. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet adapter
or to replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature. Never overload an electrical outlet. The
overall system load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult an electrician for
more information if you have questions about power loads and branch circuit ratings.
Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible, and located close to the
equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way that will stress the cords.
Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully.
Batteries
All personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain a non-rechargeable coin cell battery to provide
power to the system clock. In addition many mobile products such as notebook PCs utilize a rechargeable
battery pack to provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by Lenovo for use with
your product have been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with Lenovo approved
parts.
Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate batteries or short
circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery
pack strictly according to instructions included in the product documentation.
Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause gasses or flame to
“vent” from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from
your battery or the buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a
replacement from the battery manufacturer.
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For some rechargeable batteries
(particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk
of a battery short circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do
not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these batteries in a discharged
state.
Heat and product ventilation
Computers, AC adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when turned on and when batteries are
charging. Always follow these basic precautions:
v Do not leave your computer, AC adapter, or accessories in contact with your lap or any part of your
body for an extended period when the products are functioning or when the battery is charging. Your
computer, AC adapter, and many accessories produce some heat during normal operation. Extended
contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially, a skin burn.
v Do not charge the battery or operate your computer, AC adapter, or accessories near flammable
materials or in explosive environments.
v Ventilation slots, fans, and heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and reliable
operation. These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover, or disable these features.

5. If you get a warning from Internet Explorer about malicious scripts, right-click on the warning bar,
and select Allow Blocked Content.
6. Select Software from the left-hand navigator bar.
Chapter 2. Using the Lenovo Blu-ray Burner / HD DVD Player 7
7. Check the boxes by the software applications that you wish to install.
8. Click Go. The software you selected will install silently.
9. Restart the computer after the completion message.
Note:
If the software fails to install silently, you can select interactive installs of individual packages from
the bottom line of the installer page.
Before using the software
Video playback requires a compatible video device driver and IDE bus mastering in order to work. See
Appendix A, “Customizing the device driver configuration settings,” on page 13 for information on
enabling DMA bus mastering and for locating video device drivers.
Using WinDVD
When you insert a Blu-ray, HD DVD, or DVD Video disc into the drive, the Intervideo WinDVD Player
will automatically start and begin to play the video disc. If the disc contains both video and program
content, the program content will automatically play.
To view the video content of a DVD disc, from the Start menu, launch WinDVD, and click Play.
On startup of WinDVD, the drive activity indicator will illuminate for several seconds, then the video
output window will resize to the size of the video. Once the video is playing, the WinDVD controls can
be used to navigate through the video and disc menus.
With Microsoft Windows XP, you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows Media Player
application.
With Microsoft Windows Vista, you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows Media
Player or Windows Media Center applications.
Notes:
1. Windows Vista 64 will not always autoplay video content. For more Information, see Appendix B,
“Troubleshooting,” on page 17.
2. Microsoft Windows built-in applications cannot play Blu-ray movies.
3. Blu-ray and HD DVD movie discs will not autoplay in Windows XP. Windows XP cannot natively
read the UDF 2.5 file system, so these Blu-ray movie discs are considered blank.
Viewing Blu-ray and HD DVD movies
You can use WinDVD to watch Blu-ray and HD DVD movies with the Blu-ray / HD DVD drive. These
movies are usually of very high resolution, and have better picture and sound performance than normal
DVDs. Blu-ray and HD DVD movies also have additional features such as games and internet content.
WinDVD can play back Blu-ray and HD DVD movies with excellent sound and picture quality.
Most Blu-ray and HD DVD movies are recorded at 1920×1080 resolution. WinDVD can scale this size to
fit on your monitor or into a screen window. If the resolution of your monitor is sufficient, you can watch
the movies at full size.
The cost of such a large resolution is that few video cards have enough power to display some Blu-ray
and HD DVD movies without jerking. For best results on Blu-ray video, the ‘Hardware Acceleration’ box
in the WinDVD control panel should be checked.
Blu-ray and HD DVD movies are more interactive than DVD movies. The disc is enabled to determine
what controls (stop, pause, etc.) function and whether the mouse can be used. Most Blu-ray and HD
8 Lenovo Blu-ray Burner / HD DVD Player User's Guide
DVD discs have chapter and set-up menus that can be used while the movie is playing. Right-clicking on
the video window and selecting 'Pop-up on' will activate any in-line menu.
DVD Copy Protection
Commercial DVD movies are protected by the Content Scrambling System (CSS). Blu-Ray and HD DVD
movies are protected by the Advanced Access Content System (AACS). These schemes determine what
can be played, copied, or displayed. There are three portions of CSS and AACS: Regionalization, Copy
Control, and Output Control.
Regionalization
DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray specifications divide the world into regions for playback of different discs.
Content designated for one region cannot be read by playback systems in another region.
DVD and HD DVD specifications divide the world into seven unique regions. These regions are
numbered ’1’ to ’7’. The region codes for DVD and HD DVD are stored in the drive. The DVD and HD
DVD specifications enable an initial setting and four setting changes. On the initial setting, no disc is
required to change the code. On a region change, a single region disc from the proper region must be in
the drive. After the last change is used, the drive becomes locked into the last setting forever. Since the
drive manages the regionalization of DVD and HD DVD, both the drive and the disc can be checked for
the region. WinDVD will alert you if a wrong region disc is inserted, and offer you the choice of
changing the region. You can decide to change the region or cancel playback at that time.
The Blu-ray specification divides the world into three unique regions. Blu-ray regions are lettered 'A' to
'C'. The region code for Blu-ray is stored in the registry of your computer. Blu-ray enables an initial
setting and four setting changes. Blu-ray does not enable a player to check the region before playing. So
any region can be set regardless of whether the disc is in the drive or not. After the last change is used,
Windows becomes locked into the last setting forever. With the setting stored in the software, re-installing
Windows will reset the Blu-ray player to 'no region'.
Copy Control
There are several types of copy control used in DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray video. Copy control is used
to prevent a physical copy of the disc from being made. The types of copy control are Content
Scrambling System Encryption, AACS Encryption, and Copy Generation Management System.
Content Scrambling System Encryption physically prevents a DVD from being read. The drive cannot
read CSS encrypted sectors unless using CSS keys from an authorized player.
AACS encryption is employed on a file basis. The files on the disc are decrypted for playback using keys
stored outside the disc data area and in the software. The AACS keys in the Blu-ray / HD DVD drive
software expire every 18 months and must be renewed. Renewal is an automatic internet process that
happens when the player detects that the AACS keys have expired. AACS encrypted files can be copied
freely, but cannot be played without having the disc and an authorized player. HD DVD and Blu-ray use
AACS in slightly different ways. HD DVD enables copying and playback of the files from the hard disk
drive if the HD DVD disc is present. Blu-ray forbids any use of the files except on the original media.
CGMS is a data section on a CD, DVD, HD DVD, or Blu-ray disc. The CGMS bits mark a disc as ’copy
freely’, ’copy one generation’, ’copy never’, or ’already copied’. Software and hardware that can copy
discs should follow the CGMS bits and only copy when permitted. Almost all pressed video discs are set
to ’copy never’.
Output Control
Output control is applied to the video signals that are displayed by the Blu-ray / HD DVD drive. The
important forms of output control are Macrovision, High Definition Content Protection (HDCP), Serial
Copy Management System (SCMS), and Disc Tokens.

Macrovision is a kind of technology applied to video signals to prevent copying to Video Tape Recorders.
Macrovision signals are embedded in the video itself. Content protected by Macrovision cannot go to any
analog device that does not support placing 4-bar color stripe marker signals in the video. When a
protected video signal is encountered when playing to an output that does not support color stripe,
playback might halt. Content protected by Macrovision might halt on any attempt to send the video to a
digital output such as a DVI connected monitor. DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray all support Macrovision.
HDCP is a digital encryption scheme to prevent protected video from being recorded from a digital port
such as DVI, USB, or Firewire. Video protected by CSS, AACS, or Macrovision cannot be sent to an
unencrypted digital connection. Devices that are HDCP compliant establish an encrypted data link over
which high-resolution video can be sent. Playback will halt if any protected video is sent to a digital
output that is not HDCP compliant.
SCMS is a digital audio protection scheme. SCMS is used to prevent recording of digital audio through
connections such as SPDIF or Toslink. SCMS consists of bits in a digital audio stream that specify ’copy
freely’, ’copy one generation’, ’copy never’, or ’already copied’. These bits are placed in the audio
whenever protected video is encountered. Recording devices use these bits to know they are enabled to
copy the audio.
Disc Tokens are a Blu-ray and HD DVD specific implementation. Blu-ray has several disc bits defined to
forbid video from going to an analog monitor, a digital link, or to reduce quality. These bits will blank
the video entirely unless a permitted output device is being used.
