What region am I in for DVDs?
These are the DVD region codes: Region 1 – Canada, the United States and U.S. territories. Region 2 – Japan, Europe, South Africa, the Middle East (including Egypt) and Greenland.
Can you play a region 2 DVD in the US?
A disc that has been coded as “Region 2” can only be played on equipment manufactured in Europe (which is where Region 2 discs are made). If you live in another part of the world (the United States is an example, which is Region 1), you can’t immediately put your disc in your DVD player and have it play.

No, but if you have a home theater type computer, its DVD or Blu-ray drive will usually allow you to change the Region setting a few times before it locks into just one region.

How do I change my DVD player to all regions?
In the Device Manager window, double-click the DVD/CDROM drives icon. In the Device Properties window, click to select the DVD Region tab. In the DVD Region window, click to select the appropriate region code. Click the OK button.
Why does my DVD player say wrong region?
If you receive a region error while playing a DVD, this means that the region code of the DVD does not match the region code of the DVD drive.
