Changing DVD Region Settings

Most DVDs that contain copyrighted files also contain region
codes. The region codes help protect copyrights internationally.
You can play a DVD containing a region code only if the region
code on the DVD matches the region setting on your DVD-ROM
drive.
If the region code on a DVD does not match the region setting
on your drive, a "Playback of content from this region is not
permitted" message is displayed when you insert the DVD. To
play the DVD, you must change the region setting on your
DVD-ROM drive.
Ä
CAUTION: The region setting on your DVD-ROM drive can be changed
only 5 times.
■
The region setting you select the fifth time becomes the permanent
region setting on the drive.
■
The number of allowable region changes remaining on the drive is
displayed in the Remaining times until permanent field in
the WinDVD window. The number in the field includes the fifth and
permanent change.
