TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical disc 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.
