Regional Coding

Region Protection Coding (RPC) of DVD Discs: this feature is supported on DVD Players and is used with DVD-Video Discs (i.e. movies). Currently, the motion picture industry has divided the world into different regional "zones." These regions or "zones" correlate to the regional markets into which the motion picture industry releases movies. Simply put, RPC Codes are placed on Movie Discs marketed throughout the world based on the region of the world where they are being sold. These RPC codes help to control and prevent the pirating of new release movies into other motion picture market regions prior to their true release dates within those markets.

The SD-C2512 DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive supports the current RPC phase 2 industry specifications. This means that when the DVD-ROM drive ships from the factory it is set to the region for which the Operating System was intended. In other words the drive is set to support the Region 1 (North America) Operating System and will only play Region 1 (North America) DVD-Video movie discs.

Handling Media

DVD media is sensitive to dust and fingerprints. Carefully handle media by its edges only. If a DVD movie skips or hangs during playback, clean the media. Most DVD video playback issues are media- related and can be remedied by proper handling and care of media.

Cleaning Media

Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and smears will degrade the disc accessing speed.

If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth. Avoid cleaning in a circular motion, but rather from the inner side outward.
