Did you know...
When attempting to play a
DVD that does not match the
drive's region setting, you
will see the message, "The disk
region is different from the
region of the drive... Do you
wish to change the
drive region?"
To close the player without
changing the drive's region
setting, click No.
To change the region setting
and play the DVD disc,
click Yes and follow the
on-screen instructions.
Some models have a "regionalized"
feature that limits the playback of
discs to specific geographical regions.
If your Notebook has this feature, the
region code on the DVD drive must
match the region code on the disc.
Although the DVD drive region code
is set at the factory, some DVD drives
(depending on the make and model)
allow you to change the region code. If your Notebook has this
feature, you can change the code a maximum of five times.
If your Notebook offers the option to change region settings,
complete the following steps:
1. Insert a DVD disc into the DVD drive. The Compaq DVD
Player control panel opens automatically.
2. Click the DVD Options
the player. The DVD Options dialog box opens.
3. Select the DVD Region tab. The selected option indicates
the drive's current region setting.
4. If the drive's region setting matches the disc's region setting,
click OK.
