■ About Regions Setting
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"
The region code is not set prior to the shipment of this drive. Therefore, operations will
differ depending on the first DVD-Video played.
●
In the case of a DVD-Video with a specific region code:
The drive will automatically be set with the same region code as the DVD-Video.
●
In the case of any other DVD-Video:
[Confirm Region] appears. Select region code and select [OK]. Play now begins.
([Confirm Region] may not be displayed for some DVD-Videos. To confirm the cur-
rent region code and the number of settings remaining, right-click on the WinDVD
screen and select [Setup]-[Region].)
NOTE
●
[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.
CAUTION
●
The region code can be set a total of five times, including the initial setting. Proceed
very carefully, because after the fourth change has been made, the region code set
last is fixed and no further changes can be made.
●
The user must take responsibility for any trouble that results from illegally changing
or altering the region code.
