Region Code error. DVDs contain embedded
regional codes that prevent
them from playing outside
region in which they are sold.
This error occurs when trying
to play DVD intended for
different region.
Important:
Most DVD drives
allow region code to be
changed only a limited
number of times (usually no
more than four). When this
limit is reached, last change
is hard-coded on DVD drive,
and is permanent. Refer to
DVD player software help for
details.
HP warranty does not cover
expense of correcting this
situation.
