Setting and Changing the DVD-ROM Drive Region Code

If you reinstall the DVD decoder software, you must set the DVD-ROM drive region code before you can play a movie. The region code can be reset if you relocate to another region.

NOTICE: You should reset the region code only when absolutely necessary. You can reset the region code up to four times.

To reset the drive region code, perform the following steps:

1.Insert a DVD coded for the new region into the DVD-ROM drive.

A notification box appears, explaining that the disc belongs to another region and cannot be played. The notification also explains how to reset the region setting.

2.Follow the instructions on the screen to change the region setting.
