HP 1215EA manual Using Regionalised DVDs, Identifying Your Region Setting

Using “Regionalised” DVDs

Some models have a “regionalised” 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.

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.

Caution: The fifth setting change you make becomes the permanent region on the player.

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 Vicon 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.
