Regional Coding  
Region Protection Coding (RPC) of DVD Discs :  
This feature is supported on DVD Players and used with DVD-Video Discs (ie. movies).  
Currently, the motion picture industry has divided the world into different regional zones  
These regions or zones correlate to the regional markets into which the motion picture  
industry releases movies. Simply put, RPC Codes are placed on Movie Discs marketed  
throughout the world based on the region of the world they are being sold into.  
These RPC codes help to control and prevent the pirating of new release movies into  
other motion picture market regions prior to their true release dates within those markets.  
SN-324 CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive supports RPC phase II.  
The local code of RPC-2 mode can be changed by users. It is possible for  
users to change the zone code up to five times on MPEG Application.

installed the appropriate player, such as Microsoft Windows Media Player, you can  
adjust the volume using the headphone volume control on the drive front panel.

Storing and Cleaning Your Discs  
Usage Guidelines  
To ensure a long service life for your discs and drive, follow the precautions  
below when storing and cleaning your discs.  
Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it.  
Do not place objects on the disc tray.  
Never use a damsged, broken, or deformed disc.  
1Do not place a disc in direct sunlight.  
Do not press the Eject button while the computer is accessing the disc.  
Keep the disc tray closed when not using the CD-RW/DVD ROM drive.  
Do not press the Eject button while the drive is playing a CD movie.  
To stop a CD movie, click Stop button in the CD player application  
program.  
2Store a disc vertically in a well-ventilated and

4Do not drop a disc or place heavy objects on it.  
5Do not touch the surface of a disc; hold it by  
Note  
the edges.  
High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed.  
If a CD has printing on only half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the  
CD, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed, causing the drive to  
vibrate or product a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-speed  
technology and do not indicate a problem with drive.  
6To clean a disc, polish lightly from the inside  
of the disc to the outside with a soft cotton cloth.  
7Do not leave the disc compartment open  
when you are not using it.  
WARNING  
The Disc in this unit operate at a very high speed!
