INSTALLATION

Host Interface Connections

Most current mainboard models have two IDE ports (primary and
secondary) which can connect two IDE cables. Two IDE cables
allow you to connect up to four devices, but it is recommended that
you separate IDE ports for your hard drive and your DVD-ROM drive.

If you connect only one device on the IDE cable, you can set the
jumper as “master” or “slave”.

If you connect two devices (e.g. DVD-ROM & CD-RW) on the same
cable, set different jumpers for each device (DVD-ROM as “master”,
CD-RW as “slave” and vice versa.) The same rule applies to the
connection of having your hard disk and one other device on the
same cable.

DVD Region Coding

Region Playback Control Management

All DVD Video Playback systems have “Region Playback Control”
(RPC) which is required by Hollywood movie industry and defined by
DVD Forum. You can only play DVD-Video discs with the same
region code as your DVD-Video Playback system.

As for DVD-ROM drives, one kind of the DVD-Video Playback
system, there are 2 types:

RPC Phase 1 (as RPC1): RPC1 drives do not have built-in hardware
support for region management. DVD-ROM drives of this kind don’t
play a part in controlling the playback region. It solely depends on
the decoder.

RPC Phase 2 (as RPC2): RPC2 drives maintain the region change
count information in hardware, and in general, the region of such
drives can be changed up to 5 times by the end users under some
software decoder. (e.g. PowerDVD)

Region Codes

Region 1: Canada, U.S.

Region 2: Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East, Egypt

Region 3: Southeast Asia and East Asia

Region 4: Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Central America,

Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean

Region 5: Eastern Europe, Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea,

and Mongolia

Region 6: China

DVD Video Decoder for PC Systems

There are three types of DVD-Video decoders on the market:

Type 1: The RPC code has been set by the manufacturer and can’t
be changed.
Type 2: The RPC code can be changed up to the maximum of four
times (except the initial setting).
Type 3: With RPC Phase 2 drives, the DVD-Video decoder copies
the same region code as the drive

Here is a table to help you understand how DVD-ROM drives and
the decoder (DVD MPEG cards or DVD playback software) work
together for region code setting.

About This DVD-ROM Drive

This DVD-ROM drive you have purchased is a PRC2 drive and the
first region code will depend on the DVD title you play. You are
allowed to modify the region code 5 times. After the fifth alteration,
the region code will be locked and only those DVD titles of the same
region code could be played afterwards, so set the code carefully.
