DVD-ROM Drive Information
(on selected models)
The DVD-ROM drive allows you to view and create your own CDs
and DVDs. You can purchase an optional DVD viewer software to
view DVD titles.
Regional Playback Information
Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital
AC3 audio and decryption of CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes
called copy guard) is the name given to the content protection
scheme adopted by the motion picture industry to satisfy a need to
protect against unlawful content duplication.
Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule
that is most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In
order to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video
titles are released for specic geographic regions as dened in “Region
Denitions” below. Copyright laws require that all DVD movies be
limited to a particular region (usually coded to the region at which it is
sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions,
CSS design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS
encrypted content must only be capable of playing one region.
IMPORTANT! The region setting may be changed up to ve times
using the viewer software, then it can only play DVD movies for the
last region setting. Changing the region code after that will require
factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is
desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at the expense of the
user.

Internal Modem Compliancy
The ASUS Transformer Book with internal modem model complies
with JATE (Japan), FCC (US, Canada, Korea, Taiwan), and CTR21. The
internal modem has been approved in accordance with Council
Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection
to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However due
to dierences between the individual PSTNs provided in dierent
countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional
assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network
termination point. In the event of problems you should contact your
equipment supplier in the rst instance.
Overview
On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the
CTR 21 has been published in the Ocial Journal of the EC. The CTR
21 applies to all non voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling
which is intended to be connected to the analogue PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network).
CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment
requirements for connection to the analogue public switched
telephone networks of terminal equipment (excluding terminal
equipment supporting the voice telephony justied case service)
in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of dual tone
multifrequency signalling.
Network Compatibility Declaration
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notied Body and
the vendor: “This declaration will indicate the networks with which
the equipment is designed to work and any notied networks with
which the equipment may have inter-working diculties”
102
ASUS Transformer Book E-Manual
Network Compatibility Declaration
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This
declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment
is designed to work and any notied networks with which the
equipment may have inter-working diculties. The manufacturer
shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network
compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings.
It will also advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use
the equipment on another network.”
Up to now the Notied Body of CETECOM issued several pan-
European approvals using CTR 21. The results are Europe’s rst
modems which do not require regulatory approvals in each
individual European country.
Non-Voice Equipment
Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible
as well as modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems.
Equipment in which the end-to-end quality of speech is controlled
by regulations (e.g. handset telephones and in some countries also
cordless telephones) is excluded.

pulse dialling (manufacturers may state in the user guide that the
equipment is only intended to support DTMF signalling, which
would make any additional testing superuous).
In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series
