NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has printing on only half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed, causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high- speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive.
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-R2612 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.
