What Are Regional Codes?
DVD discs contain Regional Codes which can be used to prevent the playback of certain discs depending upon the area of the world it is played in. Various studios and home video companies lobbied to make sure this coding system was a required part of current DVD standards. They did this as want to control how their DVD titles are exported to other countries. In most instances, discs manufactured in one region will usually only play on players that were manufactured in that same region - this means that discs bought or imported from Japan will not play on U.S. players, and vice versa. However, the regional coding system is entirely optional, and discs without Regional Codes will play on any player in any country. The models we sell are known as Region Free DVD Players and will play DVDs from any region from any country on the planet! |

How can I tell what region a DVD is?
The Region Code is specified on the back of the individual DVD packages and on the DVD itself. It is shown either with a regional coding logo of a globe with the region number over it. |
