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). To load a disc in either of the PowerFile drives: a. 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. Go to the C:\Program Files\Powerfile C200\Changer directory. 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 had only loaded one DVD disc into the PowerFile to change the Region Code Setting on Drive 1 as described in the steps above, you would select Unmount from the CHG file context menu to unmount it from Drive 1, then use the Mount command again to mount the same disc to Drive 2. Since you configure each of the DVD-ROMs independently, you can take advantage of the fact that they each be set to a different region code. 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. [. . . ]
