RPC jumper location for Pioneer DVD drives
Before using the drive, be
sure the RPC jumper is inserted. If not the drive will become
RPC-2 (zone locked) after the first DVD insertion,
definitively!!! Once RPC-2, the drive is detected with a R (ex
DVD-103 became DVD-103R)
Even a firmware upgrade couldn't change anything. You could
change your region only 5 times.
After the fifth
time, it will stay with the last region programmed.
RPC pin on the new 10X drives do not works (DVD-104S / DVD-114).
Jumper location for IDE drive (DVD102/A02 - DVD103/A03 - DVD-113)
