RPC and DVD-Video
Nearly all commercially-available DVD discs feature a Region Protection Code
(RPC). In order to watch DVD-Video discs, the RPC needs to match the setting
on the DVD player. By default, all LaCie DVD-Video-compatible drives are set
to the RPC zone of the country in which it was purchased. This RPC setting may
be changed using your hardware or software MPEG-II decoder (please refer to
the documentation supplied with your decoder for more information). DVD-
Video discs that do not feature RPC II encoding may be played on all DVD
players set to Zone 1.
The worldwide RPC zones are:
Zone 1
USA and Canada
Zone 2
Europe, Japan, the Middle East and South Africa
Zone 3
Southeast Asia (including Hong Kong)
Zone 4
Australia, New Zealand, Central and South
America
Zone 5
Northwest Asia, North Africa
Zone 6
China
