108 HP Media Center PC Reference Guide
Using country/region codes
Most DVD discs have country/region codes
embedded in the disc data that limit where the DVD
movie can be played.
The country/region number is usually placed over
a world globe printed on the DVD packaging and
disc. DVDs without country/region codes will play
on any player or drive in any country/region.
WinDVD is not pre-set to a particular country/
region: the country/region code of the first DVD
movie you play determines your DVD country/
region.
For example, if you play a DVD with a country/
region 1 code, WinDVD sets the current country/
region of your DVD player to 1. If you later play a
DVD that is coded for a different country/region,
WinDVD asks if you want to set this as the current
country/region.

countries/regions
only five times before
the country/region
code locks and
becomes permanent.
Once the code locks,
you can play DVDs
from that country/
region only. If the
country/region code
locks, and you need
help, contact Support.
