Changing DVD Region Settings

CAUTION: To prevent selecting a region setting that is not your
Ä
permanent preference, consider that the region setting on your DVD-ROM
drive, DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive, or DVD+RW/R and CD-RW Combo
Drive can be changed only 5 times.
■
The region setting you select the fifth time becomes the permanent
region setting on the DVD-ROM drive or Combo Drive.
■ The number of allowable region changes remaining on the drive is
displayed in all software that can be used to change a DVD region
setting.
■ The region settings must be changed in Windows.
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 or Combo Drive.
■
If the notebook is in Windows and the region code on a
DVD does not match the region setting on your DVD-ROM
drive or Combo Drive, a "Playback of content from this
region is not permitted" message is displayed when you insert
the DVD.
■
If the notebook is in QuickPlay and the region code on a
DVD does not match the region setting on your DVD-ROM
drive or Combo Drive, message about your DVD region
setting is also displayed.
