DVD Region Codes
Region codes are part of the DVD standard. However, Region code on
DVD discs are optional. DVD discs with no specified region code can be
played on all DVD players.
The world is set up into regions according to DVD titles. There are six
regions around the world as illustrated by the map below.
This DVD drive can be changed to play a DVD from any region in the
world but can ONLY be changed five times. This restriction makes the
drive adaptable for use in any region while still maintaining compliance
with RPC-II regulations.
The ability to switch from one region to another is not an ongoing
feature. Please set the drive to your local region only or you may
risk setting the drive permanently for a region that is not compliant
with the media available in your part of the world.
