For example, if you play a DVD with a country/region 1 code, WinDVD sets the current country/region of your DVD-ROM player to 1. If you later play a DVD that is coded for a different country/region, WinDVD asks if you want to set this as the current country/region.

Warning: You can change the country/region code only five times before the setting becomes permanent. When the country/region code locks, if you need help, contact HP Support.
