Blu-Ray discs contain regional codes that restrict use of the disc to specific global regions. For example, when trying to play a Blu-Ray movie that is encoded for a region other than the region for which the Blu-Ray player is configured, a code lock error message appears.
The region setting can be manually changed on the Blu-Ray player. Some players, however, may only allow the region to be changed a specific number of times, such as Dell MediaDirect 3.3 and above or Cyberlink PowerDVD 7.0 and above.
If the Blu-Ray player is locked to the last region that was selected, only Blu-Ray discs that are set to that particular region can be played. For example, MediaDirect may only allow five region changes. After the limit has been reached, the Blu-Ray disc player is locked to the last region that was selected and only Blu-Ray discs that are set to that particular region can be played.
| Region A | North America, Central America, South America, Japan, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia |

If you cannot see BD Settings, ensure that your BD drive is installed properly. The BD settings do not appear if the computer only supports DVDs. If you still cannot find the BD Settings, try updating your MediaDirect version.
