Is it necessary to set a region before backing up a DVD with a Pioneer A04?

Well, yes and no, my burner is the earlier Pioneer A03, set to Region 2, and this is the message I get on trying to rip a Region 1......
(Using DVDdecrypter)

Media Region code mismatched to logical unit region...
The slower BRUTE FORCE VOBDec/DeCSSplus cracking methods will be used instead of I/O Key Exchange.

All Pioneer drives whether dvd-rom or dvd-r will be locked to whatever region the country they are sold in is, over here it is region 2 so only region 2 dvds can be ripped, if you want to rip a region 1,3-6 you will need to hack the firmware, I did this on my Pioneer 115 and now it can rip any region, just use the software region changer.
