7. വൈദ്യുതി വിതരണം

The ROOFULL External CD DVD Drive typically draws power directly from your computer's USB port via the integrated data cable. However, some USB ports, especially on older or low-power devices, may not provide sufficient power for stable operation.

If you experience issues such as the drive not being recognized, intermittent operation, or slow performance, connect the included USB power supply cord to the drive's dedicated power port and then to a reliable 5V USB power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter, power bank, or a powered USB hub). The power supply cord is for power only and does not transmit data.

Figure 7: Illustrates connecting the external power supply cord to ensure adequate power for the drive.

8. DVD Region Code Information

DVDs are region-coded to restrict playback to specific geographical areas. Your ROOFULL External CD DVD Drive will only play DVDs that use the same region country codes. For example, if you are in the U.S. or Canada, you are in Region 1, and you need to set the DVD drive Region code to #1 to play Region 1 DVDs. CDs are not region-coded.

Important: Each external optical drive only allows you to change the region code 4-5 times. After that, the region code will be permanently locked to the last setting.

DVD Region Codes:

• മേഖല 1: കാനഡ, യുണൈറ്റഡ് സ്റ്റേറ്റ്സ്
• മേഖല 2: Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East
• മേഖല 3: Southeast Asia, East Asia (including Hong Kong)
