DVD-VIDEO Playback and Region Codes
(Region Numbers)
The playing of DVD-VIDEO (DVD discs) is
protected and controlled by a region code
*
setting.
*
Region Playback Control standard (RPC
standard)
In order for the DVD-ROM drive to play a
DVD-VIDEO, the region code shown on the
DVD disc, the region code of the
DVD-ROM drive, and the DVD video
software region code must all match.
DVD-VIDEO Playback and Region Codes with the CRX85U
With the CRX85U, the region code can be
set up to five times, including the initial
assignment (RPC Phase 2 standard). The
CRX85U region code is set by the
DVD-VIDEO playback software.
Important
After setting the region code five times (including the
initial setting), the setting becomes permanent and
cannot be changed. Thereafter, you will only be able
to play DVD-VIDEOs whose region code matches
that set the fifth time.
Caution
Do not attempt to make unauthorized changes to the
region code. Any problems that result from doing so
will not be covered by the warranty.
Points to Consider when Playing
DVD-VIDEOs
The playback conditions for DVD-VIDEOs
are sometimes determined by software
makers. Since this drive plays back discs as
determined by the software manufacturer,
some drive functions may not always work
as expected. When playing back
DVD-VIDEOs, refer to the instructions
accompanying each disc.
