[X4U] DVD regions code

[Michael W. Sumbera]

Well, not that it will tell you outright, but (most) every DVD has a 
region code.  If you look at the box for a disc that plays, you should 
see what region it is coded for, thus knowing what region the player is 
set for.

It can change.  If you insert a disc from a different region, you 
should be prompted if you want to change the players region so you can 
view the new disc, say switching from region 1 to region 2, but you can 
only do that a limited number of times (the dialog box should tell you 
how many more switches you have).

A DVD's region coding is generally determined by place of 
manufacture/intended sale.  A quick graphic for how this breaks down:
