DVD discs are optional. DVD discs with no specified region code can be
played on all DVD players.

regions around the world as illustrated by the map below.
This DVD drive can be changed to play a DVD from any region in the
world but can ONLY be changed five times. This restriction makes the
drive adaptable for use in any region while still maintaining compliance
with RPC-II regulations.
