Changing DVD region settings
Most DVDs that contain copyrighted files also contain region codes. The region codes help protect
copyrights internationally.
You can play a DVD containing a region code only if the region code on the DVD matches the region
setting on your DVD drive.
CAUTION The region settings on your DVD drive can be changed only 5 times.
The region setting you select the fifth time becomes the permanent region setting on the DVD
drive.
The number of allowable region changes remaining on the drive is displayed in the Changes
remaining box on the DVD Region tab. The number in the field includes the fifth and permanent
change.
To change settings through the operating system:
1. Select Start > My Computer.
2. Right-click in the window and select Properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager.
3. Click DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the DVD drive for which you want to change region settings,
and then click Properties.
4. Make the desired changes on the DVD Region tab.
5. Click OK.
