Regional codes for DVD films and DVD players
DVD films and DVD players (e.g. the DVD drive of your notebook) are always provided with a
regional code. The regional codes of DVD films and DVD players must match so that the DVD film
can be played back.
There are six different regional codes:
● Regional code 1: USA and Canada
● Regional code 2: Egypt, Europe, Japan, South Africa and the Middle East
● Regional code 3: South-east Asia (incl. Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea,
Taiwan)
● Regional code 4: Australia, New Zealand, South-East Pacific, Central and South America, and
the Caribbean
● Regional code 5: Africa (except South Africa), India and the former Soviet states
● Regional code 6: China
Your notebook’s DVD drive supports the function RPC-II (Phase II System of Regional Playback
Control). This function permits the final user to change the regional code of the drive up to five times
to play back corresponding DVD films. Then the last regional code selected is retained and cannot
be changed again.

If a DVD film can be watched in all regions, it has the regional code 0.
Before buying a DVD film you should check that the regional code of the DVD film
matches the region code set for the DVD drive of your notebook.
Adjusting AutoPlay function of your CD/DVD drive
Windows uses AutoPlay technology. This allows you to tell Windows how to use different types of CD
or DVD disks.
You can set the AutoPlay function of the CD/DVD drive according to your needs. For example, if you
insert a music CD you can tell Windows to open Media Player and start to play it.
Proceed as follows:
► Change these settings under
Start – (Settings) – Control Panel – Hardware and Sound – AutoPlay.
Please note that you must select the desired action for each individual CD/DVD
content type.
