Changing the DVD Region Code Setting

Changing the DVD Region Code Setting

Overview

All DVD players and most DVD discs are labeled for operation within a specific geographical region in the world. This is know as a Region Code.

DVD discs are encoded for a specific region, and must match the region code of the physical DVD drive to be played. Region code recognition only applies to the physical DVD disc and the physical DVD- ROM drive. For example, the U.S. is in Region 1. This means that all DVD players sold in the U.S. are made to Region 1 specifications. As a result, Region 1 players can only play Region 1 DVD coded discs.

Regional codes are entirely optional for the maker of a DVD disc. Discs without region locks will play on any DVD player in any country.

DVD discs may have multi-region codes, such as Region 1,2 and 4 and will play in drives coded with the corresponding region code. On the back of each DVD package, you will a find a region number (1 - 6).

On a MAX system, if a DVD disc is inserted into a DVD-ROM drive that has a region code different from that of the DVD, you will receive an error message indicating that there is no disc in the drive when you attempt to identify the disc (via the Identify Disc option in the WinMAX software application.

1.Highlight DVD Region and press SELECT to scroll through the different region codes (displayed in the text field) until you see the region that you want to set the AVP to.
