DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC):
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 prevent pirating of new movies into
other motion picture regions prior to their true release dates within those markets.
The SM-332 COMBO drive supports RPC phase II. In the RPC-2 mode, the local
code can be changed by users.
RPC-2 is selected by default for the SM-332 COMBO drive.
You can change the region code up to five times via an MPEG application.
Please contact your dealer or local SAMSUNG representative if you wish to change
the local code more than five times.

What is Buffer Under-Run?
Every CD-R or CD-RW drive records the data that the Host PC wants to record
until the data flow ends. However, if the buffer becomes empty temporarily,
this may cause errors in recording data.
What is Auto-Run?
If inserting a CD into a drive, the operating system executes the Autorun.inf file
of the CD automatically.
Term Description
Important!
Please read the entire DMA installation guide before installing your COMBO drive.
About DMA Installation
For stable writing performance at high speeds, Installation of DMA transfer mode for
E-IDE/ATAPI interface is strongly recommended.
We recommend DMA mode for fast writing.
DMA Setting
Before you install your COMBO drive, we recommend to set DMA to enabled on your
PC system. See the following procedure to set DMA transfer mode in windows
oprerating system. (Windows 95 OSR2/98/ME)
14
Caution with errors
Every CD-R or CD-RW drive records data by applying recording laser onto a CD.
If the CD is damaged or recording data is not possible, you need to remove the
following causes of the error before using the CD.
It is recommended to set a CD-R or CD-RW drive as follows.
1
Do not work on a multi-tasking environment and remove screen savers.
If you work on a multi-tasking environment while the CD-RW drive
is recording/deleting data, Buffer Under-Run may occur.
2
Do not allow any external access to the Host PC while recording data.
If another user accesses your printer through a network while you are
recording data, errors may occur.
5
Use an E-IDE cable, which has the specified length (46cm).
Using E-IDE cables longer than 46cm may cause errors during data transaction.
3
Remove the Auto-Run function of the CD.
If you insert a CD that has the Auto-Run function to a drive connected to a
PC while recording/deleting data, this may cause errors.
How to cancel (select) the Auto-Run function
Cancel (Select) the Auto-Run function in [Start > Setting > Control Panel >
System > Device Manager > CD-ROM Setting]
6
Use only one recording software program.
To install a software program for recording, uninstall any other types or versions
of recording software programs first and then reboot the computer.
Make sure you use the recording software CD (Nero Burning Rom /
Roxio Easy CD Creator) provided by us. Using our software program with
others may cause errors in recording.
4
Use image files when you record many small files.
If you use a lot of small size files for recording, this may reduce the transaction
rate of the PC. Although Justlink function is often run, the recording quality
may become low.
If you copy a CD from another, you do not require making available space in the
hard disk. However, when you use image files, you need to copy them on the hard
disk first and then copy to a CD. In this case, you need to ensure maximum 700MB
of available space in the hard disk for reliable recording process.
Not compatible with Windows 95 in case of Roxio Software.

Problem
When the MPEG software
plays a Video CD, the
pictures are not regular and
the running speed is too slow.
Adjust the size of the replay screen.
The Disc is not in message is
displayed even though a disc
has been inserted.
The computer may not recognize the disc if you
start playback too quickly after inserting the disc.
Open and close the disc compartment and try again.
The COMBO drive is not
detected after it is connected
to a sound card.
The interface mode of the sound card is AT-BUS.
You must therefore connect the COMBO drive to
