ABOUT REGION CODES
Region codes are part of the DVD standard. There is a Region number located within
one or all of the components required for DVD-VIDEO playback. The Region number
defines the region of the DVD-ROM drive and its playback hardware/software. DVD-
VIDEO discs may also contain a Region number in the shape of a world globe. Unless
the Region number on both the DVD-VIDEO disc and DVD-ROM drive and its playback
components match, playback is not possible. When the word "ALL" is located in the
world globe on a DVD-VIDEO disc, that particular DVD-VIDEO disc can be played on
all DVD-ROM drives and its playback components, regardless of its region.
World Regions Numbers (1-6)
1. United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands, and some islands
in the Pacific.
2. Japan, Western Europe (including Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Balkans),
South Africa, Turkey, and the Middle East (including Iran and Egypt).
3. Southeast Asia (including Indonesia, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Macao).
4. Australia, New Zealand, South America, most of Central America, Papua New
Guinea, and most of the South Pacific.
5. Most of Africa, Russia (and former Russian states), Mongolia, Afghanistan, Pakistan,
India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and North Korea.
6. China and Tibet.
The region code on the DVD-U05S can be changed ONLY 5 times, including the 1st
setting. Please be aware that the 5th change will be PERMANENT. Therefore please
use caution when changing the region code.
NOTE:
The method of changing the Region number will vary depending on the Decoder/Operating
