You can change the region code to play a DVD that
has a different code. (The code cannot be changed for
some playback software.) When you insert the disc,
the Caution screen appears on the PC. Follow the onscreen instructions to change the code.
The region code for the burner can be changed
5times only. The code set the fifth time becomes the
final code, so be sure to set a frequently used code.
Take sufficient care when changing the code.
