DVD Region Coding Region Playback Control Management All DVD Video Playback systems have “Region Playback Control” management (RPC) which is required by Hollywood movie industry and defined by DVD Forum. This includes DVD-Video players and PC systems with DVD-Video capability. You can only play DVD-Video discs with the same region code as your DVD-Video Playback system.
About This Drive This DVD±R/RW Writer is also a RPC2 DVD-ROM drive and according to DVD-Forum, PC chip must be designed into DVD-ROM drives to record how many times a user has changed the region code. The first region code will depend on the DVD title you play and you are allowed to modify the region code 5 times (including the initial one). After the fifth alteration, the region code will be locked and only those DVD titles of the same region code could be played afterwards, so set the code carefully.
