If you have an analog or IEEE 1394 capture device installed in your computer,
you can use this software to record video from a camera.
v IBM Drive Letter Access (DLA)
This software enables you to write directly to CD-RW, CD-R, DVD-RAM,
DVD-RW, and DVD-R media using the drive letter like you would if you were
writing to a diskette. All disc format types can be formatted by DLA. With DLA,
you can drag-and-drop files, create new directories, or save files from any
application directly to your Multi-Burner.
v UDF reader
This software enables you to install software for reading DVD-RAM, DVD-RW,
and CD-RW media on computers with DVD drives. It also allows you to read
DLA-created discs on systems without DLA installed.
v IBM RecordNow
IBM RecordNow is disc mastering software that allows you to create your own
music or data discs from files on your computer, or from other disc media such
as CDs or DVDs. Music discs created with IBM RecordNow will play on any CD
player, whether it’s at home, in your car, or through your computer’s CD-ROM.
IBM RecordNow also makes it easy to create data discs that can be read on any
appropriate CD or DVD disc reader.
Note: Some DVD players cannot read CD-R media. Refer to the documentation
that accompanied your drive for information on supported media.
IBM RecordNow guides you, step-by-step, through the recording process with
simple Wizards and an intuitive user-interface.
Using IBM RecordNow you can create:
– Exact copies of existing discs - The Exact Copy feature makes a duplicate of
your master disc, transferring the disc layout of the original disc to your
CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD media.
– Discs of archived data from your hard drive – The Make a Data Disc feature
is used to store electronic data, such as the files and applications that reside
on your computer’s hard drive. Unlike music discs, data discs are used to
store files that are readable only by a computer, and cannot be played on
your home or car stereo—even if audio files are on the disc.
– Music compilations from WAV, MP3, or WMA files, or from existing music
discs – The Make a Music Disc feature creates custom music discs from files
on your hard drive or your existing music discs. The CD music database
feature can automatically tag your files with track information to help you
sort through your collection.
Note: Please reference the IBM RecordNow On-line Help, for more information
on how to Make an Exact copy, Create a Data Disc, or to Create an Audio
disc with IBM RecordNow.
To start RecordNow, complete the following procedure:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Programs.
3. Click IBM RecordNow.
4. Click RecordNow to open the main recording software window.

Installing WinDVD and viewing a DVD movie
To install WinDVD, go to the ″Software″ section of the Software and User’s Guide
Super CD.
After you install the Multi-Burner drive and WinDVD software, 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.

Appendix C. 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
″Machine″ means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or
accessories, or any combination of them. The term ″Machine″ does 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

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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-to″ questions 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
22 ThinkPad Multi-Burner Ultrabay Enhanced Drive: User’s Guide
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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 ″Machine″ includes Machine Code and Licensed
Internal Code (″LIC″).

This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for
which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS
LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR
POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS
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.
Governing Law
Both you and IBM consent to the application of the laws of the country in which
you acquired the Machine to govern, interpret, and enforce all of your and IBM’s
rights, duties, and obligations arising from, or relating in any manner to, the
subject matter of this Statement of Limited Warranty, without regard to conflict of
law principles.
THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY
ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR
