Using HD DVD-ROM drive and HD DVD-R drives
This section describes the features and use of HD DVD-ROM drive and HD 
DVD-R drives. 
This computer is equipped with a full-size HD DVD-ROM drive or a HD 
DVD-R drive module that lets you record data to rewritable CD/DVDs as 
well as run 12cm (4.72") CD/DVD/HD DVDs and 8cm (3.15") CD/DVDs 
without using an adaptor.
If you have a HD DVD-ROM drive or a HD DVD-R drive, please also refer 
to the 
 section for 
precautions on writing to CD's, DVD's and HD DVD’s.
If you have a HD DVD-ROM drive or a HD DVD-R drive, please refer to the 
Qosmio HD DVD Guide for playback to HD DVD.
Do not point the web camera directly at the sun.
Do not touch or press strongly on the web camera lens. Doing so may 
reduce image quality. Use an eyeglass cleaner (cleaner cloth) or other 
soft cloth to clean the lens if it becomes dirty.
Setting the [Size] to more than "800x600" will cause a larger amount of 
data to be written to the hard disk drive and may interfere with smooth 
recording.
When recording in dimly lit environments, the following procedure can 
be used to select "Night Mode" which allows for brighter images with 
less noise.
1. Click the Properties button on the [Web Camera] menu.
2. Check Night Mode on the [Options] tab.
3. Click the OK button.
The number of frames per second is lowered when "video recording" in 
"Night Mode". This may result in the playback of the recorded video file 
seeming unsmooth.
Please refer to the included Qosmio HD DVD Guide for more information 
on using the HD DVD-ROM drive and HD DVD-R drives.
You should use the HD DVD playback software in order to view HD DVD 
Video media.
