DVD region coding
R EGION PLAYBACK CONTROL MANAGEMENT
All DVD video playback systems have Region Playback Control (RPC)
management, which is required by the movie industry and defined by
the DVD Forum. You can only play DVD video discs with the same region
code as your DVD video playback system.
This combination drive is an RPC2 drive and must record the number of
times you change the region code. After you have changed the drive‘s
region code five times, the drive won't allow you to change the region
code again. This means the code will be locked and only those DVD titles
of the same region code can be played.
