![]() It’s the same situation for nearly all areas of the world playback depends on the region code which the disc was embedded with and the region where the player was manufactured. For example, if you live in the UK and purchased a few DVD discs while on vacation in the United States, those discs are not going to be playable in your DVD Player back in the UK – since the discs have been embedded with a region code for the US, they are only able to play on a North American DVD System. Usually this doesn’t pose a problem to the average user, but it may for someone who has purchased discs from a foreign website or while visiting another country. In other words, if a disc is inserted into a player that originated from another region, it will not play because the region code does not match that of the player. Since region codes are specific to certain geographical locations, a disc can typically only be read and played by a Blu-Ray or DVD Player that was manufactured and/or intended for use in that same specific region. This data, or region code, is read by the player and if it doesn’t recognize the region code as compatible or local, the disc will not play. Region Codes are pieces of data that are embedded into Blu-Ray and DVD Discs to act as a restriction.
