1 Double-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop.

2 Double-click on the Control Panel folder.

3 Double-click on the System icon.

4 Click on the Device Manager tab.

5 Expand the CD-ROMbranch.

DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC):

The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-video discs (such as movies). Currently, the motion picture industry has divided the world into different regions or zones that correspond to the regional markets into which the motion picture industry releases movies. Simply put, RPC codes are placed on movies marketed throughout the world, based on the region of the world in which they are being sold. These RPC codes help control and pre- vent pirating of new movies into other motion picture regions prior to their true release dates within those markets.

The SD-610/612 DVD-ROM drive supports RPC phase II. In the RPC-2 mode, the local code can be changed by users. RPC-2 is selected by default for the SD-610/612 DVD-ROM drive. You can change the region code up to five times via an MPEG application.

Please contact your dealer or local SAMSUNG representative if you wish to change the local code more than five times.
