Region Codes
When buying a DVD in a foreign country, or through the internet, you must make sure that the DVD you are buying is of the same region code as your DVD player.

Region 1 -
Region 2 - Europe, most of Asia,
Region 3 - Southeast Asia,
Region 4 - Caribbean, Central America,
Region 5 - Africa,
Region 6 -
Region 7 - Reserved for future use.
Region 8 - Reserved for use in international venues, for example on airplanes and on cruise ships.
Region ALL - All regions are set for this DVD can be played on any DVD player.

That way you can watch all DVD’s from all regions on the DVD player in your computer.
However, this is not possible for standalone DVD players and for portable DVD players.

The DVD will NOT work on another Region DVD Player, unless it is a Region 0 DVD or ALL DVD.
