2. Always check each disc for cracks before using it. If there are
cracks on the surfaces, especially around the border of the center
hole, we recommend that you make a copy of the disc
immediately and then stop using it. If you continue using the disc,
it will probably develop more cracks and eventually cause
irreparable damage.
Install the jumper in the MA position (Master).
Connect the 40-pin flat IDE cable from a second
IDE port on the mother board directly to
the DVD-ROM drive or first to another additional
IDE drive and then to the DVD-ROM drive.

The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-video
discs (such as movies). Currently, the motion picture industry has divided the
world into different regions or zones that correspond to the regional markets
into which the motion picture industry releases movies. Simply put, RPC codes
are placed on movies marketed throughout the world, based on the region of
the world in which they are being sold. These RPC codes help control and pre-
vent pirating of new movies into other motion picture regions prior to their true
release dates within those markets.
