DVD region codes  
Regional coding is part of the protection scheme for DVD content.  
The world is divided into six regions, so that specific content can  
be viewed only in the region where it is appropriate. For  
example, Region 1 (U.S. and Canada) content can be viewed only  
in Region 1. The DVD movie player application is also  
region–specific.  
Type x:\DVDPLAYR\SETUP and click OK.  
Note: x represents the drive letter of the DVD drive.

Follow the instructions on the screen.  
You must select a region to play DVD content. After you have  
selected a region, you can play content only from that region.  
Make sure the first DVD content you play is from the appropriate  
region. You can verify the region code of the content by looking  
at the region code symbol on the back of the content packaging.  
Attention: If the first DVD you play is from a region other than  
the region you selected, your system will no longer play DVD  
content. Contact the IBM PC HelpCenter. See Appendix A.

Notes:  
1. Your computer has been configured to provide the highest quality audio  
and video playback based on the available system resources. You can  
alter the default settings by changing the video resolution setting within  
the Control Panel of Windows 95 or Windows 98. 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 in software. The audio and video  
subsystems need to be fully functional and enabled.  
Follow the instructions on the screen.  
3. When you are viewing a DVD movie, the LCD resolution might be  
automatically set to 800 x 600, 256 colors.

Troubleshooting  
Problem  
Cause and action  
If you play the DVD Express with  
Windows 98 or Windows 95, the “No valid  
Disk/Drive found” message appears.  
This message appears when you reboot or restart your ThinkPad computer with the  
DVD-ROM left in the DVD drive. Remove the DVD-ROM from the drive and then  
reinsert it.  
If the problem persists, check the drive assignments. Assignments should not skip letters.  
Suppose, for example, that you has assigned the hard disk drive as the C drive and the  
DVD drive as the E drive, and nothing is assigned as the D drive. In this case, you would  
need to assign the DVD drive as the D drive. To change the drive letter form E to D, do  
the following:  
1. Click Start, move the cursor to Settings, and click Control Panel.  
2. Double-click Device Manager.  
3. Double-click the letter currently assigned to your DVD drive (for example, E).  
4. Click the Settings tab.  
5. Select D in “Start drive letter” under “Reserved drive letters.”  
6. Click OK and restart the computer.  
The LCD resolution degrades when you  
play a DVD movie.  
Reset the LCD size as follows:  
1. Click Start, move the cursor to Programs and ThinkPad. Then click ThinkPad  
Configuration.  
2. Click the LCD icon.  
3. Click Enable in “Screen Expansion.”  
4. Click OK.

Production status  
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In  
some cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously  
installed. Regardless of the Machine's production status, IBM's warranty terms  
apply.  
Appendix B. Product warranty  
The IBM warranty for machines  
The following warranty information applies to products purchased in  
the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. For warranty terms and  
conditions for products purchased in other countries, see the enclosed  
warranty insert, or contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing  
representative.  
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and  
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published Specifications. The  
warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its  
Date of Installation. The date on your receipt is the Date of Installation, unless  
IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.  
International Business Machines Corporation  
Armonk, New York 10504  
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if authorized by IBM, will  
provide warranty service under the type of service designated for the Machine  
and will manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.  
Statement of limited warranty  
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply  
only to Machines you originally purchase for your use, and not for resale, from  
IBM or your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features,  
conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them.  
Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the  
country where you acquire the Machine. If you have any questions, contact IBM  
or your reseller.  
For IBM or your reseller to provide warranty service for a feature, conversion,  
or upgrade, IBM or your reseller may require that the Machine on which it is  
installed be 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine  
and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion,  
or upgrade. Many of these transactions involve the removal of parts and their  
return to IBM. You represent that all removed parts are genuine and unaltered.  
A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of  
the replaced part.  
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM  
or your reseller will repair it or replace it with one that is at least functionally  
Appendix A. Help and service information 2-3  
 
equivalent, without charge. The replacement may not be new, but will be in  
good working order. If IBM or your reseller is unable to repair or replace the  
Machine, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be  
refunded.  
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service  
request procedures that IBM or your reseller provide,  
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine, and  
c. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine's location.  
If you transfer a Machine to another user, warranty service is available to that  
user for the remainder of the warranty period. You should give your proof of  
purchase and this Statement to that user. However, for Machines which have a  
lifetime warranty, this warranty is not transferable.  
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in  
IBM's possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for  
the transportation charges.  
Extent of warranty  
Warranty service  
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.  
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your reseller or  
call IBM. In the United States, call IBM at 1-800-772-2227. In Canada, call  
IBM at 1-800-565-3344. You may be required to present proof of purchase.  
The warranties may be voided by misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable  
physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, removal or  
alteration of Machine or parts identification labels, or failure caused by a  
product for which IBM is not responsible.  
IBM or your reseller will provide certain types of repair and exchange service,  
either at your location or at IBM's or your reseller's service center, to restore a  
Machine to good working order.  
THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR  
CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT  
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS  
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR  
PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL  
RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH  
VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME  
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR  
LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE  
ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO  
YOU. IN THAT EVENT SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN  
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES  
APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.  
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item  
IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property, and the replacement  
becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and  
unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order  
and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement  
assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Before IBM or your  
reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts,  
options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. You also  
agree to ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions  
that prevent its exchange.  
You agree to:  
1. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a  
Machine that you do not own; and  
2. where applicable, before service is provided —
