DVD region codes

DVDs and DVD players are regionally coded to protect the DVD industry from
piracy and unfair promotions. For example, a DVD encoded for Region 1 may only
be played on a Region 1 DVD-ROM or DVD player. Regional codes on DVDs are
optional. All DVD players can play DVDs with no specified region code.

Follow the instructions to play a regionally-coded DVD on the drive.

1. Check the region code of the DVD, then insert the disc into the drive.

2. When the DVD playback prompts you to enter your country/location, select a

country/location within the region code of the DVD. Refer to the map and table
below.

You are only allowed to change your country/location up to five times.
This limitation makes the drive adaptable for use in many regions while
maintaining compliance with RPC-II regulations.

The ability to switch from one region to another is not an ongoing feature. Set
the drive to your local region to avoid incorrect setting.
