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 drive.
CAUTION:
The region setting you select the fifth time becomes the permanent region setting on the DVD drive.
The number of region changes remaining is displayed on the DVD Region tab.
To change settings through the operating system:
1.
Select Start > My Computer.
2.
Right-click in the window and select Properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager.
3.
Click the "+" sign next to DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the DVD drive for which you want to
change region settings, and then click Properties.
4.
Make your changes on the DVD Region tab.
5.
Click OK.
NOTE:
You must commit these changes in order for them to be saved. Refer to Chapter 2, "Enhanced
Write Filter," for additional information.
