Using country/region codes

 

DVDs sometimes come with country/region

 

codes imprinted as part of the disc data. These

 

codes prevent DVD movies from being played

 

in countries/regions of the world that are

 

different from where they were sold. You can

 

play DVDs from other countries/regions only five

 

times before the country/region code locks and

 

becomes permanent. Once the code locks, you

 

can only play DVDs from that country/region.

 

When the country/region code locks, if you

 

need help, contact HP Support.

 

Tasks

The country/region number is usually placed

 

over a world globe printed on the DVD

Common

packaging and disc.

DVDs without country/region codes will play

on any player or drive in any country/region.
