Regional codes for DVD films and DVD players

DVD films and DVD players (e.g. the DVD drive of your notebook) are always provided with a
regional code. The regional codes of DVD films and DVD players must match so that the DVD film
can be played back.
There are six different regional codes:
● Regional code 1: USA and Canada
● Regional code 2: Egypt, Europe, Japan, South Africa and the Middle East
● Regional code 3: Southeast Asia (including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, South Korea,
Taiwan)
● Regional code 4: Australia, New Zeeland, South Eastern Pacific, Central and South America
and the Caribbean
● Regional code 5: Africa (except South Africa), India and the former states of the USSR
● Regional code 6: China
The DVD drive of your notebook supports the function RPC-II (Phase II System of Regional
Playback Control). This function permits the final user to change the regional code of the drive up to
five times to play back corresponding DVD films. Then the last regional code selected is retained
and cannot be changed again.
If a DVD film is to be watched in all regions, it has the regional code 0.
i
Before buying a DVD film you should check that the regional code of the DVD film
matches the regional code set for the DVD drive of your notebook.
