Changing the DVD Region Code Setting

16 MAX-AVP Audio-Video Player

DVD Regions (1-6)

The following table lists the six international DVD Region Codes used by all DVD-ROMs:

Default Region Code Setting

By default, all MAX 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-

AVM, you may need to change the region code setting in order to read DVDs from other regions.

Each DVD-ROM drive adheres to the (CCA licensing organization) 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.

• REGION 1: USA, Canada

• REGION 2: Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland

• REGION 3: S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Parts of South East Asia

• REGION 4: Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (including Mexico)

• REGION 5: Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa

• REGION 6: China
