DVD Region Code Settings

Default Region Code Setting

By default, the MAX Server’s DVD-ROM drives are set to read DVDs with Region 1 encoding (for U.S., Canada and U.S. Territories). Depending on what region of the world you are installing and operating the MAX, you may need to change the region code setting in order to read DVDs.

There are three sources used for loading content onto a MAX server:

1.MDL200 with BulkRipper software running on Windows PC.

2.WinMAX running on a Windows PC - load content from local DVD/CD-ROM drive on PC.

3.MAX Server DVD/CD ROM drive - use WinMAX software for accessing the server’s DVD-ROM drive.

All of the above methods require the use of physical DVD/CD ROM drives that are covered by the DVD CCA licensing organization. Each DVD-ROM drive adheres to the requirement that the drive must be set to a region specific code to play authorized DVDs for that region. The requirement allows for the DVD- ROM region code to be changed a maximum of five (5) times in a drive. The fifth time, the region code is "locked" permanently in the drive. This procedure is mandated for all DVD-ROM manufactures that carry the DVD logo and applies to all DVD-ROM drives used throughout the MAX system.

Using Windows, the properties of the physical DVD drives can be accessed and region code changed as required.

By default, the MAX Server, MDL200 and MAX-AVP DVD-ROM drives are set to read DVDs with Region 1 encoding (for U.S., Canada and U.S. Territories). Depending on what region of the world you are installing and operating the server, you will need to change the region code setting of the DVD-ROM drive in the server, MDL200 and/or PC in order to read DVDs from other regions.

Changing the Region Code Setting on MAX Servers

MAX-MMS Servers (MMS-01S, -02S, -02SB, -04S and -900), MAX-HT Servers (MAX-HT04 and - HT12), and the MDL200 Multi-Disc Loader feature internal DVD-ROM drives. The region code setting for the internal DVD-ROM must match the region code of the DVD disc(s) you are attempting to load.

If the region code setting on the DVD-ROM does not match that of the DVD disc that is inserted into the drive, the disc will not be recognized.

The region code setting for the MAX Server’s DVD-ROM can be changed via the Change Region option in MAX Admin Menu (accessible via the Server Configuration option in WinMAX):
