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 motionpicture industry has divided the worldinto different regions or zones thatcorrespond to the regional 
markets intowhich the motion picture industry releasesmovies. Simply put, RPC codes are placedon movies 
marketed throughout the world,based on the region of the world inwhich they are being sold. These 
RPCcodes help control and prevent piratingof new movies into other motion pictureregions prior to their true 
releasedates within those markets.  
The SD-616 DVD-ROM drive supports RPCphase II. In the RPC-2 mode, the localcode can be changed by 
users. RPC-2is selected by default for the SD-616 DVD-ROM drive. 
You can change the region code up tofive times via an MPEG application. 
 
Please contact your dealer or local SAMSUNG representative if you wish tochange the local code more than 
fivetimes.
