I ran into this a couple of times. The coding is sometimes specific to the region of the world you live in.
* Region 1 - The U.S., U.S. territories and Canada * Region 2 - Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland * Region 3 - Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong * Region 4 - Mexico, South America, Central America, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Caribbean * Region 5 - Russia (okay, former Russia), Eastern Europe, India, most of Africa, North Korea, Mongolia * Region 6 - China Most of the DVD's will have text on the back of the packaging that it is for a specific region or you will see a globe with the number superimposed on it. It will be very obvious on there what you have. If you are purchasing sight unseen you will have to ask the seller what region it is specific to before you make your final purchase. I currently own a very nice copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. As you can tell from the title ... it is not for my region. :) Chiara On Tue, May 16, 2006 2:38 pm, Bjarne og Leif Drews said: > Hello, > There are so many nice movies to get from Amerika, but i heard they > are > specially coded and that your dvd player has to be special coded to > show > them. > How do i find out if my player will take them? > > Bjarne > > > > > > Leif og Bjarne Drews > www.my-drewscostumes.dk > > http://home0.inet.tele.dk/drewscph/ > > > _______________________________________________ > h-costume mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume > _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
