Multimedia

You can play a DVD containing a region code only if the region code on the DVD matches the region setting on your DVD-ROM drive or combo drive. If the region code on a DVD does not match the region setting on your DVD-ROM drive or combo drive, the message, “Playback of content from this region is not permitted,” is displayed when you insert the DVD.

To play the DVD, you must change the region setting on your DVD-ROM drive or combo drive. DVD region settings can be changed in the operating system or in some multimedia applications, as described in the following sections.
