Using country/region codes

Most DVD discs have country/region codes embedded in the disc data that limit where the DVD movie can be played.

The country/region number is usually placed over a world globe that is printed on the DVD packaging and disc. DVDs without country/region codes play on any player or drive in any country/region.

WARNING: You can change countries/regions only five times before the country/region code locks and becomes permanent. Once the code locks, you can play DVDs from that country/region only. If the country/region code locks and you need help, contact Support.
