Installing WinDVD and viewing a DVD movie  
To install WinDVD, go to the Softwaresection of the Software and User’s Guide  
CD.  
After you install the 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.  
Chapter 2. Using the ThinkPad DVD-ROM Ultrabay Slim Drive 2-3  
 
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
2
3
4
5
6
U.S., Canada  
Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan  
Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea  
Latin America, Australia, New Zealand  
Former Soviet Union, North Africa, India  
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.  
To display the region code status, click the WinDVD Properties button on the  
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.

Appendix B. IBM Statement of Limited Warranty -  
Z125-4753-07 - 11/2002  
Part 1 - General Terms  
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 -  
Country-unique Terms, and Part 3 - Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2 replace or  
modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited  
Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale. The term  
Machinemeans an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or  
accessories, or any combination of them. The term Machinedoes not include any software  
programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise.  
Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of  
consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.  
What this Warranty Covers  
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and  
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications  
(Specifications) which are available on request. The warranty period for the  
Machine starts on the original Date of Installation and is specified in Part 3 -  
Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or sales receipt is the Date of  
Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise. Many features,  
conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A  
part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the  
removed part. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, these warranties apply only in the  
country or region in which you purchased the Machine.  
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND 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. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE  
EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE  
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH  
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD.  
NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR  
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN  
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT  
APPLY TO YOU.  
What this Warranty Does not Cover  
This warranty does not cover the following:  
v
any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine, or  
installed subsequently;  
v
failure resulting from misuse (including but not limited to use of any Machine  
capacity or capability, other than that authorized by IBM in writing), accident,  
modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper  
maintenance by you;  
v
failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible; and  
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2003  
B-1  
 
v
any non-IBM products, including those that IBM may procure and provide with  
or integrate into an IBM Machine at your request.  
The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the  
Machine or its parts.  
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.  
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as  
assistance via telephone with how-toquestions and those regarding Machine  
set-up and installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.  
How to Obtain Warranty Service  
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact  
IBM or your reseller to obtain warranty service. If you do not register the Machine  
with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase as evidence of your  
entitlement to warranty service.  
What IBM Will Do to Correct Problems  
When you call for service, you must follow the problem determination and  
resolution procedures that IBM specifies. A technician will attempt to make an  
initial diagnosis of your problem and help you resolve it over the telephone.  
The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3 -  
Warranty Information.  
You are responsible for downloading and installing designated Machine Code  
(microcode, basic input/output system code (called BIOS), utility programs,  
device drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM Machine ) and other  
software updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media,  
and following the instructions that IBM provides.  
If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) (e.g.,  
keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive and other easily replaceable  
parts), IBM will ship these parts to you for replacement by you.  
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and  
your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone, through your application of  
Machine Code or software updates, or with a CRU, IBM or your reseller, if  
approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will either, at its discretion, 1) repair  
it to make it function as warranted, or 2) replace it with one that is at least  
functionally equivalent. If IBM is unable to do either, you may return the Machine  
to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.  
IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that  
apply to the Machine.  
Exchange of a Machine or Part  
When the warranty 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  
B-2 ThinkPad DVD-ROM Ultrabay Slim Drive: User’s Guide  
functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the  
warranty service status of the replaced item.  
Your Additional Responsibilities  
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:  
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that  
prevent its exchange;  
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a  
Machine that you do not own; and  
3. where applicable, before service is provided:  
a. follow the service request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;  
b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the Machine;  
c. IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to  
permit IBM to fulfill its obligations; and  
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in the Machine’s location.  
4. (a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal  
Data) is deleted from the Machine (to the extent technically possible), (b) allow  
IBM, your reseller or an IBM supplier to process on your behalf any remaining  
Personal Data as IBM or your reseller considers necessary to fulfill its  
obligations under this Statement of Limited Warranty (which may include  
shipping the Machine for such processing to other IBM service locations around  
the world), and (c) ensure that such processing complies with any laws  
applicable to such Personal Data.  
Limitation of Liability  
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is 1) in  
IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the  
transportation charges.  
Neither IBM nor your reseller are responsible for any of your confidential,  
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to  
IBM for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine  
prior to its return.  
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other  
liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,  
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM  
(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or  
tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable  
laws, IBM is liable for no more than  
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and  
tangible personal property; and  
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring,  
12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For  
purposes of this item, the term Machineincludes Machine Code and Licensed  
Internal Code (LIC).

OF, OR DAMAGE TO, DATA; 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT  
DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR 4)  
LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS REVENUE, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED  
SAVINGS. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE  
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL  
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY  
TO YOU. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW  
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE  
ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
