Compaq 1400 manual Using Regionalized DVDs, Identifying Your Region Setting

Using “Regionalized” DVDs

Some models have a “regionalized” feature that limits the

playback of discs to specific geographical regions.

If your Notebook has this feature, the region code on the DVD drive must match the region code on the disc.

Although the DVD drive region

code is set at the factory, some DVD drives (depending on the make and model) allow you to change the region code. If your Notebook has this feature, you can change the code a maximum of five times. After the fifth change has been made, the setting becomes permanent and cannot be changed again.

Identifying Your Region Setting

If your Notebook offers the option to change region settings, complete the following steps:

1.Insert a DVD disc into the DVD drive. The Compaq DVD Player control panel opens automatically.

2.Click the DVD Options 6icon on the lower left corner of the player. The DVD Options dialog box opens.

3.Select the DVD Region tab. The selected option indicates the drive’s current region setting.

4.If the drive’s region setting matches the disc’s region setting, click OK.

Note: If the drive’s region setting does not match the disc’s setting, select a new region to play the disc.
