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 another 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 drive is a RPC2 DVD-ROM drive and according to DVD-Forum,
PC chip must be designed into DVD-ROM drives to record how many times a user has changed the region code. The first region code will depend on the DVD title you play and you are allowed to modify the region code 5 times (including the initial one). 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.
