Identifying Your DVD Region Setting

Did you know...
When attempting to play a DVD that does not
match the drive’s region setting, you will see the message
“Playback of content from this region is not permitted.”
To close the player without changing the drive’s region setting,
click Cancel.
To change the region setting and play the DVD disc, select the
current region and click OK.
Most DVD discs have a “region” setting that
limits the playback of the disc to specific
geographical regions. The region code on
the DVD drive must match the region code
on the DVD disc.
To change the DVD drive region, complete
the following steps:
1. With a DVD disc in the drive, open the WinDVD Player.
2. Click the Properties icon on the lower left corner of the
player to open the Properties dialog box.
3. Click the General tab.
