Region code indicators are labeled on the DVDs to indicate in which region and on what type of player you can play the
disc. If the DVD is labeled "all," this means that you can play this DVD in most regions of the world. If the region code of
your residence area is different from the label on the DVD disc or on the packaging, you cannot play the disc on your
computer.
For finding the region code of your residence area, see the following table.
