06. How many times can I change my optical drive region code?
Optical drives are limited in the number of region changes per drive (up to 5 times).
When a DVD movie is inserted into an optical drive, the drive reads the region code to determine whether the film was actually manufactured for the region where the film is about to be played.
If the region code and the film are not the same, the optical drive changes its code, but only up to five times. The fifth change determines the final setting of the optical drive with regard to regional codes. After this code has been set, the drive can only read DVD movie with the same code as the drive.
