Using “Regionalized” DVDs
Some models have a “regionalized”
feature that limits the
playback of discs to specific
geographical regions.
If your Notebook has this feature,
the region code on the DVD drive
must match the region code on
the disc.
Although the DVD drive region
code is set at the factory, some DVD drives (depending on the
make and model) allow you to change the region code. If your
Notebook has this feature, you can change the code a
maximum of five times. After the fifth change has been made,
the setting becomes permanent and cannot be changed again.
Identifying Your Region Setting
If your Notebook offers the option to change region settings,
complete the following steps:
1. Insert a DVD disc into the DVD drive. The Compaq DVD
Player control panel opens automatically.
2. Click the DVD Options
6
icon on the lower left corner of
the player. The DVD Options dialog box opens.
3. Select the DVD Region tab. The selected option indicates
the drive’s current region setting.
4. If the drive’s region setting matches the disc’s region
setting, click OK.
Note: If the drive’s region setting does not match the disc’s setting, select
a new region to play the disc.
