Playing DVDs
To play a DVD, you must have a DVD drive.

The default DVD program opens. If the DVD wizard window opens, choose the
program you want to use from the list. You may have to scroll down in the window to

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 play on any player or drive in
any country/region.
NOTE: Some commercial music CDs are copy-protected and cannot be played with
Windows Media Player. Such CDs come with their own (built-in) player that must
be used.
WARNING: You can change 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.
