Region Codes - Meridian 598 User Manual

Region codes

For commercial reasons many DVDs are encoded with one or
more region codes to identify the countries in which they can be
used. Every DVD player is assigned a region code to determine
which discs it can play.
The different parts of the world are divided into regions 1 to 6 as
shown in the following diagram:
1

1 – USA, Canada
2 – Europe, Near East, South Africa, Japan
