DVD-Video Playback and Region Codes

The playback 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/CD RW drive to play
back DVD-Video disc, the region code on
the DVD disc, the region code of the DVD/
CD RW drive, and the region code of the
DVD-Video software must all match.

DVD-Video Playback and Region Codes with the DRU-510A

With the DRU-510A, the region code can be
set up to five times, including the initial
assignment (RPC phase 2 standard). The
DVD-Video playback software sets the
DRU-510A region code.

Important

After setting the region code five times (including the
initial setting), the setting becomes permanent and can
no longer be changed. From this point on, you are only
able to play back DVD-Video discs whose region code
matches the one set the fifth time.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to make unauthorized changes to the
region code. Any problems resulting from doing so are
not covered by the warranty.

Points to Consider when Playing
DVD-Video Discs

DVD-Video disc playback conditions are
sometimes determined by software
manufacturers. Because the DRU-510A plays
back discs as determined by software
manufacturers, some drive functions may not
always perform as expected. When playing
back DVD-Video discs, refer to the
instructions accompanying each disc.
