HP 18XL280 manual Using Regionalized DVDs, Identifying Your Region Setting

Did you know...

When attempting to play a DVD that does not match the drive’s region setting, you will see the message,

“The disk region is different from the region of the drive… Do you wish to change the drive region?”

To close the player without changing the drive’s region setting, click No.

To change the region setting and play the DVD disc, click Yes and follow the on-screen instructions.

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