Setup: Hitachi GD-5000 8X DVD-ROM User's Guide Dell performs the installation and setup of a DVD-ROM configuration before shipping your system. A native ATAPI device driver that works with this drive is included in the Windows operating system that Dell installed on your system. [. . . ] Each regional zone is numbered "One" through "Six", called the Region. Region One North America Region Two Western Europe, Japan & Middle East Region Three Southeast Asia Region Four Mexico, Central & South America, Australia Region Five Africa, Russia, Eastern Europe Region Six China DVD movie discs are released for each region and are controlled by each region. The RPC code prevents the new release of movies into other motion picture market regions prior to their true release dates within those markets. RPC Codes are placed on Movie Discs that correlate to the region they are intended for sale. For example, a PC user located in Canada, would have their DVD Drive set to Region One, or a PC user located in France would have their drive set to Region Two. The Canadian PC user could only play Region One coded Movie DVD discs and a French PC user could only play Region Two coded movie discs. The Regional Playback Control system does not allow users to play DVD discs that are not set for their drive. If a user attempts to play a DVD movie disc for a region the DVD drive is not set, the user will receive an error message explaining the DVD title is of another region and cannot be played. Setting and Changing the Region Setting of the DVD Drive To play a DVD movie, the drive must first be set to a Region. Several methods are available to set the region, which are transparent to the user. · · · The Manufacturer may set the region at the factory If no region is set at the factory, most software will set the drive to the region coded on the first movie DVD disc that is played. If the first disc is a multi-region coded disc, the drive will be set to the region determined by such factors as time zone, or language etc. 5 Once a drive is set to a region, the region can be reset, but for unusual circumstances only, such as when a user relocates to another region. A notification box will respond, explaining the disc belongs to another region and cannot be played. 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 produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive. Emergency Ejection (use only in the case of an emergency) If the disc tray does not open when the OPEN / CLOSE button is pressed: Make sure that the power of the DVD-ROM is turned on. If the disc tray still will not open, the DVD-ROM drive's manual emergency mechanism may be activated. Turn off the DVD-ROM drive and wait at least 15 seconds until the disc stops rotating. Insert a straightened paper clip into the manual emergency eject hole (about 25mm (1 inch) to eject the tray. NOTE: If it is necessary to use the emergency eject procedure to open the drive, the tray should be closed by turning on the power and pressing the OPEN / CLOSE button. Transporting the drive before it has been properly closed may cause damage to the mechanism. [. . . ] The drive is set to slave when the jumpers are positioned on the middle two pins. This may cause a negative effect on the speed of your hard drive. 3-4 Slave 5-6 Cable Select None Slave Jumper locations 13 Regulatory: Hitachi GD-5000 8X DVD-ROM User's Guide UL1950 C-UL (CSA C22. 2 No. 950-95) TUV (EN60950/EN60825) CB (IEC950/IEC825) Class 1 laser product comply with DHHS rules 21CFR Subchapter J FCC Rule Part 15 Class B CE Marking (89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC, 93/68/EEC) C-Tick Mark RRL ­ (Korean) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
