About DVD Media
The DVD-Video has a region code that is fixed according to the region where it is sold. In
order to play a DVD-Video, the region code of the player software and of the drive must
match that of the DVD-Video.
Example:
For U.S.A. and Canada: "1"
For Europe: "2"
For Southeast Asia (including Hong Kong and Taiwan): "3"
This drive's region code is not set at the time of purchase. Therefore, operations will differ
depending on the first DVD-Video played.
z
In the case of DVD videos with specific region code settings:
The drive will automatically be set with the same region code as the DVD-Video.
z
In the case of any other DVD-Video:
[Confirm Region] appears. Select region code and click [OK]. Play may now begin.
([Confirm Region] may not be displayed for some DVD-Videos. To confirm the current
region code and the number of settings remaining, right-click the WinDVD screen and
click [Setup] - [Region].)
CAUTION
z
The region code can be set a total of five times, including the initial setting. Proceed
very carefully, because after the fifth change has been made, the region code set last
is fixed and no further changes can be made.
z
The user must assume responsibility for any problems that result from illegally
changing or altering the region code.
NOTE
z
[Confirm Region] will also be displayed if a DVD-Video with one region code is
inserted into a drive for which another region code has already been set.
