Regional Coding
Region Protection Coding (RPC) of DVD Discs :
This feature is supported on DVD Players and used with DVD-Video Discs (ie. 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 they are being sold into.
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.
SN-324 CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive supports RPC phase II.
The local code of RPC-2 mode can be changed by users. It is possible for
users to change the zone code up to five times on MPEG Application.
