Video DVD playback conditions
Retailers supply video DVDs that do not
meet the standards.
These video DVDs may cause picture,
sound or other playback problems.
DVD region code
Most of the video DVDs are encoded with a
region code intended to restrict the area of
the world in which they can be played.
Information about which region code a
DVD has can usually be found either on the
video DVD itself or on the sleeve.
In order to play a video DVD, the video
DVD and the video DVD player must have
the same region code.
Below you will find the possible region
codes and the countries assigned.
For example, DVD players sold in the
U.S.A. have the region code 2, and video
DVDs sold in the U.S.A. can have the
region code 0 or 2.
So, if you insert a DVD with a region code
except 0 or 2 into an U.S.A. DVD player
(e.g. the disc changer of the Driver
Information System), the DVD will not be
played.
