Using Your CD or DVD Drive

Using a “Regionalized” DVD

Some models have a “regionalized” feature that limits the playback of discs to specific geographical regions.

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

Though the computer’s region code is set at the factory, some DVD drives (depending on the make and model) offer an option to change the region code. If your computer has this feature, you can change the region code for a maximum of five times. The fifth setting change you make will become the permanent region on your player.

Identifying Your Region Setting

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

1.Insert a DVD into the CD or DVD drive. The DVD Options window opens. The selected radio button under the Select DVD Region tab indicates your computer’s current region setting.

2.Click the OK button if your drive’s region setting matches the disc’s region setting.

Changing a Region Setting

To change the drive region, complete the following steps:

1.Insert a DVD into the CD or DVD drive. The Select DVD Region window opens.

2.Select another DVD region from the displayed map or from the radio buttons so that your drive’s region setting matches the disc’s region. After you make a change to your drive’s region setting, the remaining number of changes allowed on your drive is displayed.

3.Click the OK button.
