Cover Art
This option retrieves updated cover art for discs in the MAX server’s media library.
Change Region
The region code setting for the MAX Server’s internal DVD-ROM drive must match the region code of
the DVD(s) you are attempting to load.
If a DVD is inserted that has a region code that is different from that of the DVD-ROM in the MAX
Server, you will receive an error message indicating that there is no disc in the drive when you press the
Identify Disc button in the Record tab.
By default, the MAX Server’s DVD-ROM drives are set to read DVDs with Region 1 encoding (for U.S.,
Canada and U.S. Territories). Depending on what region of the world you are installing and operating the
MAX, you may need to change the region code setting in order to read DVDs.
NOTICE: You can change the region code setting on your MAX Server’s DVD-ROM drive up to five
times, and no more. The region code setting is locked down in the DVD-ROM drive the fifth time it is
set, permanently setting to that last region code setting. At that point there is no way to change the
region code setting again. The number of resets still available is indicated at the top of the Change
Region page.
The region code setting for the MAX Server’s DVD-ROM can be changed via the Change Region
option in MAX Admin Menu (accessible via the Server Configuration option in WinMAX):
In the event that you expect to load large numbers of DVDs with different region codes, you should
group the DVDs together by region to minimize the number of times you’ll have to change the region
The information in this document concerning region code settings does not apply to
the MMS-12S Server, since the MMS-12S does not feature a DVD-ROM drive.
