Region Code Settings
Most of the DVD titles in today's markets are governed by a regional code that
divides the world into six separate regions. This ensures maximization of revenues
for motion picture studios' theatrical and home releases, which times and dates
vary from region to region.
1. Open PowerDVD and insert the DVD you wish to play into the optical drive.
2. Upon inserting your DVD, note the dialog box. Click OK.
3. After the region has been set, this dialog box will no longer prompt you unless
an encoded DVD title from another region is inserted.
PowerDVD will only allow you to set the regional settings five times until the
regional code is fixed. Subsequently, playback of DVD titles will be specific to one
region. Some DVD titles may not be region-specific.
