Setting the Region Code
If you want to view a DVD movie on your computer, you need to set the DVD region code. You can set
the region code when you start DVD Express for the first time. For instructions for setting the region
code, read this flyer instead of the
Online User's Guide
.
DVD Region Codes:
Regional coding is part of the protection scheme for DVD content. The world is divided into six
regions, so that specific content can be viewed only in the region where it is appropriate. For
example, Region 1 (U.S. and Canada) content can be viewed only in Region 1. The DVD Movie
Player Program application is also region–specific. You must select a region to play DVD
content. After you have selected a region, you can play content only from that region.
An
incorrect region code setting causes your computer to hang; you can recover your
computer only with the Recovery CD.
