DVD region coding

REGION PLAYBACK CONTROL MANAGEMENT

All DVD video playback systems have Region Playback Control (RPC) management, which is required by the movie industry and defined by the DVD Forum. You can only play DVD video discs with the same region code as your DVD video playback system.

This combination drive is an RPC2 drive and must record the number of times you change the region code. After you have changed the drive‘s region code five times, the drive won't allow you to change the region code again. This means the code will be locked and only those DVD titles of the same region code can be played.
