About DVD Regions : CineMaster DVD Playback Card

The makers and publishers of DVD content have established a system of worldwide Regions to facilitate the rollout of new DVD entertainment media.

1 - USA, Canada

2 - Europe, Near East, South Africa, Japan

3 - South East Asia

4 - Australia, Middle & South America

5 - Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe

6 - People's Republic of China

Each DVD disc and each DVD player is assigned to one or more regions of the world where it is to be used. If the DVD title you are attempting to play does not match the Region assigned to your DVD player, then it will not play and you will see the following message:

The CineMaster DVD system has been designed to allow you to reset your region. This permits the CineMaster DVD player to be moved from one region to another and still be useful. Each CineMaster DVD player's region can only be reset a maximum of 5 times, however. Whatever setting is made on the fifth change will become its final and permanent region. We, therefore, do not recommend that you change your DVD player's region unless it is really necessary.

How to change your DVD Player's assigned Region

When you insert a DVD title produced for a region different from your CineMaster DVD player, the following message will appear:

If you are sure you want to change your DVD player to match a particular Region, click the Change Region button. The CineMaster software will automatically make the change. Some DVD titles may be playable in more than one region. If this is the case with the DVD title you wish to play, you will be prompted to choose from a drop-down list of the regions supported by the DVD title.

NOTE: You should NOT change your DVD player's region just to play a single DVD title. It is a much better idea to locate the version of the DVD title that was produced for your player's region.

In the event you change your CineMaster DVD player's region multiple times, you will be warned before the final change with the following message.

This will be the last change the DVD player will accept. After that, your CineMaster will be permanently assigned to the region you specify.
