DVD region codes
DVDs and DVD players are regionally coded to protect the DVD industry
from piracy and unfair promotions. For example, a DVD encoded for Region
1 may only be played on a Region 1 DVD-ROM or DVD player. Regional
codes on DVDs are optional. All DVD players can play DVDs with no
specified region code.
Follow the instructions to play a regionally-coded DVD on the drive.
1.
Check the region code of the DVD, then insert the disc into the drive.
2.
When the DVD playback prompts you to enter your country/location,
select a country/location within the region code of the DVD. Refer to
