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.
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 dialogue 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, you will need to select a new region to play the disc.
