18) What is a region code?  
Region codes were created as a request by Hollywood movie studios in an  
effort to allow them controlled distribution of Hollywood movies.  
These region codes cover regional areas around the world.  
North America, including the US and Canada are known as region 1. For more  
information on region codes, please visit the DVD Forum website at  
19) Is there a copy protection scheme on DVD Recordable media to protect  
from copying?  
For the most part, NO. DVD-/+R does not contain a copy protection scheme.  
However, DVD-RW includes the CPRM scheme. This is know as Content  
Protection for Recordable Media, which is a mechanism for controlling the  
copying, moving and deletion of digital media. Please visit the DVD Forum  
website at http://www.dvdforum.org for more information on CPRM.  
DVD+RW uses the VCPS Scheme. This is the Video Content Protection Scheme  
for +RW discs. Please visit the +RW Alliance website at http://www.dvdrw.com  
for more information on VCPS.  
20) What is Firmware?  
Firmware is the internal programming of the drive, which allows it to recognize  
various types of media and perform the correct write strategy for the particular  
type of media that is in the drive.  
To check the firmware level for drives and other devices installed with your  
computer, download the free Pioneer application, Device data & firmware level  
detector, from the Pioneer website: www.pioneerelectronics.com
