Changing DVD Region Settings
Ä
CAUTION:
To prevent selecting a permanent region setting that is not
your permanent preference, consider that the region setting on a
DVD-ROM drive or a combo drive, such as a DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive or
a DVD±RW and CD-RW Combo Drive, can be changed only 5 times.
■
The region setting you select the fifth time becomes the permanent
region setting on the DVD-ROM drive or combo drive.
■
The number of allowable region changes remaining on the drive is
displayed in all software that can be used to change a DVD region
setting.
Most DVDs that contain copyrighted files also contain region
codes. The region codes help protect copyrights internationally.
