If you insert a disc into the disc slot and REGION ERROR is displayed, the car
multi-media system can not play the disc. The reason is that the region codes
of the car multi-media system and the used disc do not match each other.
Appendix:
Region code of Digital Video
Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) divided the world into 6 regions, and
gave every region a region code for locking and unlocking D
igital Video playback.
Basically, a coded Digital Video player can play only the discs if its region code is the
same
as the code of the Digital Video player. Otherwise, it cannot play the disc.
Please note that only the Digital Video discs and Digital Video players produced by
the 8 biggest film-making companies of America impose this restriction. The D
igital
Video
discs and Digital Video players not produced by the 8 biggest film-making
companies of America are not restricted by the rule of region code. Generally, they
are called Free Region Code or Full Region Code.
The problems caused by area code inconsistency has motivated the production of
unlocked version D
igital Video players and recodable Digital Video players .
Region codes and the countries or areas represented by region codes are as follows:
Region 1: America, Canada, East-Pacific Inlands;
Region 2: Japan, West Europe, North Europe, Egypt, South Africa, Middle East;
Region 3: South-east Asian countries include Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea,
Thailand, indonesia, etc.;
Region 4: Australia, New Zealand, Central South America, South Pacific Inlands;
Region 5: Russia, Mongolia, Indian Peninsula, Middle Asia, East Europe, North
Korea, North Africa, North-west Asia etc.;
Region 6: China mainland.
