About Region Codes
Region Codes are part of the DVD Standard.
There is a Region number located within one or all of the components required for DVD-VIDEO playback.
The Region number defines the region of the DVD-ROM drive and its playback hardware/software. DVD-VIDEO discs may also contain a Region number in the shape of a world globe. Unless the Region number on both the DVD-VIDEO disc and DVD-ROM drive and its playback components match, playback is not possible. When the word "ALL" is located in the world globe on a DVD-VIDEO disc, that particular DVD-VIDEO disc can be played on all DVD-ROM drives and its playback components, regardless of its region.
All Pioneer 10X DVD-ROM drives now conform to the RPC mode 2 standard,as set down by the DVD Forum as mandatory for all manufacturers of DVD-ROM drives produced after January 1st 2000.

RPC Phase 1- RPC code management is handled by the DVD Video decoder inside a PC system.
RPC Phase 2-RPC code management is handled by either the DVD-ROM drive or both DVD-ROM drive and DVD-Video decoder inside a PC system.
