TECHNICAL NOTE: Your DVD-ROM or multi-function drive is
set to play region 1 (North America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a
DVD disc from another region, the drive will automatically
change to play in the format of the other region. The drive will
allow you to change regions four times. On the fourth change,
the region will be “locked in.” That is, the drive will only play
DVDs from that last region. Note that changing from region 1
to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.
