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. Yo u
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 2007. 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 computers 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.

the bottom line of the installer page.

Using Intervideo WinDVD Player software

This section describes how to use and customize the Intervideo WinDVD Player. You can find current
information on Intervideo WinDVD Player in the readme file on the User’s Guide and Software CD.

Before using the software

WinDVD 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 DVD Video disc into the drive, the Intervideo WinDVD Player will automatically start
and begin to play the video disc. If the DVD disc contains both video and program content, the program
content will automatically play.

To view the video content of a video/program DVD disc, go to the Start menu, launch WinDVD, and
click Play.

With Microsoft Windows XP, you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows Media Player
application.

Changing the DVD region code

Regionalization and Copy Protection (the DVD region code) uses the content scramble system (CSS)
standard to prevent unauthorized duplication of the intellectual property rights distributed on DVDs. It
was originally requested by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to address video piracy,
but is applicable to any content. CSS works by inhibiting the transmission of unencrypted data without
proper authorization. Playback systems must license CSS to decode the encrypted data.

Chapter 2. Using the drive 9

The CSS specification divides the world into seven unique regions. Content designated for one region
cannot be read by playback systems in another region. While CSS is used to prevent digital copies of the
DVD content, another technology devised by Macrovision is used to prevent analog copies of the DVD
content. The Macrovision standard is a scrambling system widely used by the movie industry to prevent
unauthorized duplication of video content using commercial VCRs. DVD playback systems must support
both CSS and Macrovision copy protection standards.

The first time that you insert a DVD Video disc into the drive, you will be prompted to set the region. If
you relocate to a different region of the world, you can use the DVD Player software to change the region
code.

Note: You can change the DVD region code only five times. After you make five region code changes,

the drive can play only MPEG-2 video titles that are associated with the fifth region code that you
set.

To change the region code, complete these steps:

1. Turn on your computer and start your operating system.

2. Click Start.

3. Select Programs.

4. Click Intervideo WinDVD.

5. Click Intervideo WinDVD.

6. Click the Properties icon to open the Properties window.

7. Click the General Properties tab.

8. Insert a single region DVD of the new region.

9. Select the correct region code for your country.

10. Click OK.

Using Drag-to-Disc (DLA)

Drag-to-Disc (DLA) is provided so that you can write data to DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW,
DVD+R, CD-R, and CD-RW media. DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and CD-RW media can be written
to many times, while DVD-R, DVD+R, and CD-R media can only be formatted and written to once.

To format and write to DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, CD-R, or CD-RW media:

1. Insert a disc into the drive.

2. Double-click My Computer. Right-click the CD/DVD Burner drive letter.

Appendix A. Customizing the device driver configuration settings

Microsoft Windows Me and Windows 2000 Professional have two device-driver configuration parameters:
Auto Insert Notify and DMA.

The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start playing or accessing the disc
automatically after being inserted in the drive. The DMA parameter improves the computer performance
by having the computer DMA controller handle data transfers from the CD to memory, freeing the
computer’s microprocessor to perform more important tasks. For example, activating DMA might make
movies and games run more smoothly because the microprocessor is allocating more processing time to
video.

Appendix E. Lenovo Limited Warranty

L505-0010-00 09/2006

This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo hardware products you purchased for your own
use and not for resale. This warranty may sometimes be referred to as the ″Statement of Limited
Warranty″ (SOLW) in other documents from Lenovo.

What this Warranty Covers

Lenovo warrants that each hardware product is free from defects in materials and workmanship under
normal use during the warranty period. The warranty period for the product starts on the original date
of purchase specified on your invoice unless Lenovo informs you otherwise in writing. The warranty
period and type of warranty service that apply to your product are designated below under the section
titled ″Warranty Information.″

THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES 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 APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW
AND 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 ON DURATION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

How to Obtain Warranty Service

If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain warranty
service by contacting Lenovo or an approved service provider. Each of them is referred to as a ″Service
Provider.″ A list of Service Providers and their telephone numbers is available at www.lenovo.com/
support/phone.

Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from location to location. Charges
may apply outside a Service Provider’s normal service area. Contact a local Service Provider for
location-specific information.

What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems

When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem determination and resolution
procedures specified.

Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over the telephone or through
remote assistance. Your Service Provider may direct you to download and install designated software
updates.

Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you install yourself (such as keyboard,
mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive, or port replicator), called a ″Customer Replaceable Unit″ or
″CRU.″ If so, your Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.

© Lenovo 2007. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005. 23

If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through your application of software
updates, or with a CRU, your Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service
designated for the product under the section titled ″Warranty Information.″

If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, your Service Provider will
replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent.

If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace your product, your sole
remedy is to return the product to your place of purchase or to Lenovo and your purchase price will be
refunded.

Exchange of a Product or Part

When the warranty service involves the exchange of a product or part, the item your Service Provider
replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the replacement becomes yours. All removed items must be
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 status of the replaced
item.

Before your Service Provider exchanges a product or part, you agree to:

1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service;

2. ensure that the product is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange; and

3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service a product that you do not

4. ensure that all information about identified or identifiable individuals (″Personal Data″) is deleted
from the product or that, with respect to any remaining Personal Data you did not delete, you are in
compliance with all applicable laws.

Use of Personal Information

If you obtain service under this warranty, Lenovo will store, use, and process information about your
warranty issue and your contact information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail
address. Lenovo will use this information to perform service under this warranty and to improve our
business relationship with you, such as to conduct internal reviews of the efficiency of the warranty
service we provide to you. We may contact you to inquire about your satisfaction regarding our warranty
service or to notify you about any product recalls or safety issues. In accomplishing these purposes, we
may transfer your information to any country where we do business and may provide it to entities acting
on our behalf. We also may disclose it where required by law or legal authorities to do so.

This warranty does not cover the following:

v uninterrupted or error-free operation of a product;
v loss of, or damage to, your data;
v any software programs, whether provided with the product or installed subsequently;
