If a region code warning appears when you are using the DVD player application,
it may be that the DVD you are trying to play is incompatible with the optical
drive in your Computer. A region code is listed on the disc packaging. Region
code indicators such as “1” or “ALL” are labeled on some DVDs to indicate the
type of player that can play the disc. Unless a “1” or “ALL” appears on the DVD
or on its packaging, you cannot play the disc on this system.
