Regional Code
DVD movies are usually coded with what is called a country or regional code or a zone lock. The three names, however, mean the same thing. DVD movies are given a regional code and the code on the DVD movie must match that of the DVD player to be viewed. DVD region codes are numbered 1 through to 8; with the first six being specific geographical regions and seven and eight being reserved for special play arenas.
Region 1 (R1): USA, Canada
Region 2 (R2): Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland
Region 3 (R3): S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Parts of South East Asia
Region 4 (R4): Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (including Mexico)
Region 5 (R5): Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa
Region 6 (R6): China
Region 7 (R7): Reserved for unspecified special use
Region 8 (R8): Reserved for cruise ships, airlines and so on
All-region Discs (also called Region 0) are un-coded and can be played Worldwide
