DVD region codes
Regional coding helps protect the contents of a DVD. The world is divided into
six regions. Specific content can be viewed only in the region where it is
appropriate. For example, the content for Region 1 (U.S. and Canada) can be
viewed only in the U.S. and Canada. Youcan verify the region code of the
DVD by looking at the region code symbol on the back of the content
packaging.
Region code Region
1 U.S., Canada
2 Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan
3 Southeast Asia, Taiwan,Korea
4 Latin America, Australia, New Zealand
5 Former Soviet Union, the rest of Africa, India
6 People’s Republic of China
DVD Express will prompt you for the initial region code. If you insert a DVD
with a different region code than the initial region code, DVD Express will
prompt you to change the region code setting. Youcan change the region code
from your initial setting up to four times after setting the initial region code.
After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is
fixed and can no longer be changed. To change the regioncode, an encrypted
DVD of the new region must be in the DVD-ROM drive.
To display the regioncode status, follow these instructions:
1. In the DVD Express windows, click DVD Options.
