DVD-VIDEO Playback and Region Codes with the CRXP-90MU

With the CRXP-90MU, the region code can
be set up to five times, including the initial
assignment (RPC Phase 2 standard). The
CRXP-90MU 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.

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 DVD­ROM drive, and the DVD video software
region code must all match.

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 the CRXP-90MU 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.

About “Memory Stick”

Using “Memory Stick”

You can read data from and write data to
“Memory Stick” using Windows or
Macintosh usual file operations.

If an error message appears

If an error occurs when reading or writing to
“Memory Stick”, and that a blue screen
appears with a message indicating that data
may be lost, “Memory Stick” may be write­protected. In this case, slide the write-protect
switch as illustrated below to remove the
protection. No data is erased from “Memory
Stick” if this occurs.

CAUTION

• “Memory Stick” are formatted at the time of
manufacture. There is no need to reformat them.
Formatting “Memory Stick” with your computer may
cause access problems when inserting it into other
“Memory Stick” compatible device.

• To use “Memory Stick” formatted with a computer,
reformat it with a “Memory Stick” compatible device.

• Other “Memory Stick” compatible devices require the
“MemoryStick.ind” file on “Memory Stick”. Do not
erase this file.

• Do not attempt to defragment or compress the
“Memory Stick” drive.

Protecting Data on “Memory Stick”

To prevent accidental loss of important data,
use the write-protect switch on “Memory

“Memory Stick”

“Memory Stick” is a new generation of
small, light, high-capacity removable
storage media.
There are two types of “Memory Stick”:
the ordinary “Memory Stick” and
“MagicGate* Memory Stick”.
You can use both types with the CRXP­90MU. However, because the CRXP­90MU does not support the MagicGate
standards, data recorded with the
CRXP-90MU is not subject to MagicGate
copyright protection.

* MagicGate is a coding method that allows copyright

protection.

• Data may be lost if:
– “Memory Stick” is removed from the drive or the

computer turned off while reading or writing data.
