DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC):

The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-video discs (such as
movies). The motion picture industry has divided the world into different regions that
correspond to the regional markets into which the motion picture industry releases movies.
Movies worldwide have RPC codes, based on the region of the world in which they are
being sold. These RPC codes help to control and prevent pirating of new movies into
other motion picture regions before their release within those markets.
This drive supports RPC phase II. In the RPC-2 mode, users can change the local code.
RPC-2 is selected by default for this drive.
You can change the region code up to five times via an MPEG application.
Please contact your dealer or local SAMSUNG representative if you need to change the
local code more than five times.

Caution: Possible errors

The drive uses laser light to write data onto the surface of the disc. Writing errors can occur if
you use a damaged disc. Make sure to prevent the conditions below before you start to write
a disc.

Note

These settings are recommended for all drives.

Do not use multitasking. Disable the screen saver. 1.

A buffer under-run can occur if the system uses multitasking while the drive writes data.

Do not let any outside computer access the host PC while the drive writes data. 2.

An error can occur if another user accesses a network printer while the drive writes
data.

Disable the CD auto-run feature of all drives. 3.

If you insert an auto-run CD into another drive within the same system while the drive
writes data, this can cause an error.

It is recommended that you use the image file format when you write a large number of

4.
small-sized files.

When there are many small files to write, the transfer rate decreases and the Buffer
under run protection feature works at a more frequent rate. This causes a lower writing
quality.
If you are doing a CD-to-CD copy, it is not necessary to verify if you have available
space on your hard disc.
However, in the case of image files, we recommend that you make sure you to have at
least two times the amount of space needed for the data on your hard disc. This is
because image files are copied to the hard disc before they are copied to the media.

Do not use more than one type of writing software. 5.

Before you install a writing program, make sure to first uninstall existing versions of the
program or other writing programs. After you uninstall any software, restart the PC.
(The Windows operating system can be damaged if you install different language
versions)

Note

We recommend that you use the data recording software provided by Samsung.
If you use other recording software, this can cause an error.

The write speed for a disc can be restricted if:

The disc has bad properties, or there are other discs with bad properties un der

type of disc. Because the two types of disc have the same property data but different
properties, it is often not possible to use the same settings. It is necessary to decrease
the writing speed to make the writing more stable.
If discs from two different disc makers have the same writing speed according to the
labels, but actually have different writing speeds, it is necessary to reduce the writing
speed.

Samsung standards to decrease writing speed 2.

Standard 1: If there are high-speed discs in the market that have very bad property

data, the writing speed is decreased. This also happens if there are low-speed discs
with the same ID.

Standard 2: Discs for which the speed was reduced, will be examined again. If low-

speed discs are no longer available in the market under the same ID as a high­speed disc, the decreased writing speed will no longer apply to the high-speed disc.

Note

It is possible that you do not get good writing quality with discs from manufacturers
that are not registered in the drive's firmware.
We thus recommend that you only use discs from recommended companies.
Always make sure that the writing was successful before you put the disc in
storage. This is very important when you want to store important data.
(Samsung is not responsible for any loss caused by a backup failure)

Note

We update the list of supported media on a regular basis and make them available
in our firmware upgrades.
