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 > Computer > System properties.

2.In the left pane, click Device Manager.

NOTE: Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your computer. You may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing applications, running utilities, or changing Windows settings. Refer to Help and Support for more information.

3.Click the "+" sign next to DVD/CD-ROM drives.

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

5.Make the desired changes on the DVD Region tab.

6.Click OK.
