Changing regional code on dvd player

[**I luv rhys**]

Ok thankyou

[Cal]

I found out that Region 4 works on Region 2 dvd players. Now I can buy my DVDs for half the price!

[Cerise]

I thought there was only Region 0, Region 1 and Region 2... I suck at this stuff...

[Cal]

Nope. It goes from 1-6 or something

[Cerise]

Really? That's interesting. Just goes to show how oblivious I am to some things

There are a lot of regions. Here's some information.

Region 0: Informal term meaning "worldwide". Region 0 is not an official setting; discs that bear the region 0 symbol either have no flag set or have region 1–6 flags set.

Region 1: Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands, United States and U.S. territories

Region 2: European Union, Albania, Andorra, Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Faroe Islands, French Guiana, Georgia, Greenland, Guernsey, Iceland, Iran, Iraq, Isle of Man, Israel, Japan, Jersey, Jordan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Norway, Oman, Qatar, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, South Africa, Swaziland, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Vatican City State, Yemen

Region 3: Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, Taiwan

Region 4: Caribbean, Central America, Oceania, South America (except French Guiana), Mexico

Region 5: African countries not explicitly included in other regions, Indian subcontinent, countries included in the former Soviet Union, Belarus, Mongolia, North Korea

Region 6: People's Republic of China (except Macau and Hong Kong)

Region 7: Reserved for future use (found in use on protected screener copies of MPAA-related DVDs and "media copies" of pre-releases in Asia)

Region 8: International venues such as aircraft, cruise ships, etc

ALL: Region ALL discs have all 8 flags set, allowing the disc to be played in any locale on any player
