User manual AMX DVD-ROM REGION CODE SETTINGS INSERT

[. . . ] The region code setting for the internal DVD-ROM must match the region code of the DVD disc(s) you are attempting to load. If the region code setting on the DVD-ROM does not match that of the DVD disc that is inserted into the drive, the disc will not be recognized. Note: The information in this document does not apply to the MMS-12S Server, since the MMS-12S does not feature a DVD-ROM drive. IMPORTANT: You can change the region code setting on your MAX device's DVD-ROM drive up to five times, and no more. [. . . ] If a DVD is inserted that has a region code that is different from that of the DVD-ROM in the MAX Server, you will receive an error message indicating that there is no disc in the drive when you press the Identify Disc button in the Record tab. The region code setting for the MAX Server's DVD-ROM can be changed via the Change Region option in MAX Admin Menu (accessible via the Server Configuration option in WinMAX): The number of region code setting resets still available is indicated here (Max resets = 5). Changing the DVD Region Code Setting On MAX Servers The number of resets still available is indicated at the top of the Change Region page (FIG. Note: Refer to the MAX Servers Operation/Reference Guide (available online at www. amx. com) for information on the other options available in the Admin Menu. Changing the DVD Region Code Setting On MAX-AVPs Use the Region Control options on the Setup Page - Locale tab to change the DVD region code setting on the MAX-AVP: 1. Highlight DVD Region and press SELECT to scroll through the different region codes (displayed in the text field) until you see the region that you want to set the AVP to. The system prompts you to verify this action, and reminds you of the number of region code changes still allowed (FIG. 1 MAX Admin Menu - Change Region In the event that you expect to load large numbers of DVDs with different region codes, you should group the DVDs together by region to minimize the number of times you'll have to change the region code setting (keeping in mind that it can only be changed a maximum of five times). Also, insure that the last region code setting made matches the region in which the MAX Server will be installed. FIG. Highlight and select Accept to change the region code, or Cancel to return to the Setup Page ­ Locale tab without changing the region code. Changing the DVD Region Code Settings On the PowerFile The PowerFile Multi-Disc Loader has two internal DVD-ROMs ("Drive 1" and "Drive 2"), each of which may require that you specify a DVD region different than the default setting of Region 1. The PowerFile is shipped as a kit (the "MAX-MDL200 Multi-Disc Loader System") that includes a PC and cables necessary to connect the PowerFile, to the PC and a MAX server. Refer to the MDL200 Multi-Disc Loader System Installation Guide (available at www. amx. com) for product specifications and connection instructions. Note that since the PowerFile includes two internal DVD-ROM drives, you can set the region code on each drive, and you may choose to specify different region codes for each (see below). The PowerFile must be connected to the PC in order to change the region code settings. To change the region code setting on the PowerFile's DVD-ROM drives: 1. Mount a DVD disc to the internal DVD-ROM drive (in the PowerFile) that you want to change the region code setting for (Drive 1 or Drive 2). If there are no DVDs in the PowerFile, insert at least one DVD into the PowerFile's disc carousel: In BulkRipper, right-click on any slot (in the Disc/Slot Window) and select Load from the context menu. Insert a DVD into the PowerFile (via the Disc Loading Slot on the front panel). Note that the disc is now loaded to the slot that was selected, but not yet mounted on either of the internal DVD drives. This directory contains a listing of all of the slots on the PowerFile, each one indicated as a . CHG file. Right-click on any slot that holds a DVD (not an audio or data CD) disc, and select Mount from the context menu. You should be able to discern which CHG file represents a DVD (as opposed to an audio CD or data disc) by the CHG filename. [. . . ] For example, if you intend to load a large number of DVDs with multiple region codes, consider setting different region codes on the two drives to accommodate the majority of DVDs/region codes in the set. You can use the BulkRipper software to specify which drive you load each movie to. In this way you could reduce the number of times you would have to change the region code settings. In effect, having two DVD-ROMs in the PowerFile allows you to make up to a total of 10 region code setting changes, even though the standard limit of five changes per DVD-ROM is still hardwareenforced. DVD Region Codes The following table lists the six international DVD Region Codes used by all DVD-ROMs: · REGION 1: · REGION 2: · REGION 3: · REGION 4: · REGION 5: · REGION 6: USA, Canada Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland S.
