I recently bought a book and accompanying DVD in Perth. When I try to play
the DVD I get a message 'Disc region code does not match the drive region
code' and am told that I can only change the region code 4 more times. I
click to change the code but still cannot play the DVD ("Not Allowed"). When
I insert a DVD that I have been able to read on previous occasions I get the
same message, only this time I am told that I can only change the region
code 3 more times. I change the code and can play the DVD. Now I am down to
being able to change the code only 2 more times so I am not game to do any
more experimenting.

Oh! and the whole operation switches off hiding the dock which I always have
on!

It looks as if I have bought a coaster. Why the limit on changing the code?

Cheers Tony
