What is DVD region code? What is it for and why they design this system to bother us? Well, the DVD region code was designed for movie studios to control the release plan for different regions across the world. Different regions have different region code so that the DVD you buy from one region cannot be played on the DVD player that has a different region code. Basically, what it means is that you can only watch the DVD in your own region, and it's not allowed by the movie studio for you to watch any DVD that is from other regions. For example, most DVDs sold in North America have the region code of "1" on them, and can only be played on DVD players that have the same region code of "1". There are in total of 6 regions. Below is how they are divided.

1---USA and Canada (not Mexico or Greenland)

2---Western Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and Japan

3---Southeast Asia

4---Central and South America and Oceania

5---Africa, India, and countries of the Former Soviet Union

6---Mainland China

From the above introduction, it is clear to understand that number 1 stands for USA region code and number 2 is for Japan DVD region code.
