Setting the Region Code

Note: When you view a DVD movie on your computer, only the 800x600 resolution with the 256-color LCD setting
is available.

If you want to view a DVD movie on your computer, you need to set the DVD region code. You can set
the region code when you start DVD Express for the first time. For instructions for setting the region
code, read this flyer instead of the Online User's Guide.
DVD Region Codes:
Regional coding is part of the protection scheme for DVD content. The world is divided into six
regions, so that specific content can be viewed only in the region where it is appropriate. For
example, Region 1 (U.S. and Canada) content can be viewed only in Region 1. The DVD Movie
Player Program application is also region–specific. You must select a region to play DVD
content. After you have selected a region, you can play content only from that region. An
incorrect region code setting causes your computer to hang; you can recover your
computer only with the Recovery CD.

 Attention
Make sure the first DVD content you play is from the appropriate region. You can verify the
region code of the content by looking at the region code symbol on the back of the content
packaging. If the first DVD you play is from a region other than the region you selected, your
system will no longer play DVD content. Recover your system using the Recovery CD.

To set the region code, do as follows:

1 Click on Start, move the cursor to Programs and Mediamatics DVD Express, and then click on
Mediamatics DVD Player.
The “Select DVD Region” window appears.

2 Select the region code and click on OK.
