Changing DVD region settings

Most DVDs that contain copyrighted files also contain region codes. The region codes help protect copyrights internationally.

You can play a DVD containing a region code only if the region code on the DVD matches the region setting on your DVD drive.

CAUTION: The region settings on your DVD drive can be changed only 5 times.

The region setting you select the fifth time becomes the permanent region setting on the DVD drive.

The number of region changes remaining is displayed on the DVD Region tab.

To change settings through the operating system:

1.Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security. Then, in the System area, click Device Manager.

2.Click the arrow next to DVD/CD-ROM drives to expand the list to show all of the installed drives.

3.Right-click the DVD drive for which you want to change region settings, and then click Properties.

4.Click the DVD Region tab and make changes.

5.Click OK.
