Jul 29, 2015 7:17 AM in response to aliiyanx07by OGELTHORPE,Install a disk that is for that region. Note that the region code can only be changed 5 times. After that it is locked with the last code that was played.
Ciao.

Jul 29, 2015 7:35 AM in response to aliiyanx07by Klaus1,Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.

Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see this also:

Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:
