When you insert a DVD-Video disc into your drive for the first time, the
hardware or software MPEG-II decoder will detect if the setting of your drive is
the same as on the DVD-Video. If not, a message will appear on your screen
and you will be asked to change the RPC setting of your drive.
Important Note:
You can only change the RPC of your drive four
times. The RPC setting is copied into an internal component in the
drive. This chip makes an average of the first five readings and sets
the drive to the most read zone. After this, it will not be possible to
change or reset the RPC of the drive.
Example:
You change the RPC Zone to play a Zone 1 DVD-Video,
and then you change to a Zone 2 DVD-Video. You switch back and
forth between the zones a total of five times, twice in Zone 1 and
three times in Zone 2. Your drive will then be set on Zone 2, without
the possibility to reset the drive later on in order to view DVD-Video
discs from Zone 1.
