Using 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.
If the region code on a DVD does not match the region setting on
your drive, a Playback Of Content From This Region Is Not
Permitted message is displayed when you insert the DVD. To
play the DVD, you must change the region setting on your DVD
drive.

CAUTION: The region setting on your DVD drive can be changed only
5 times.

permanent region setting on the drive.

The number of allowable region changes remaining on the drive
is displayed in the Remaining Times Until Permanent field in the
WinDVD window. The number in the field includes the fifth and
permanent change.
