I had a 760 ED some time ago and I know it played DVDs from the States as
well as from New Zealand. My newer R50p wouldn't play any DVDs until I
followed the advice below and set the region code. After that, I know it
plays DVDs from the States, but have not tried any other regions. I /assume/
it will, just as the previous drive did.
Richard Neill said the following on 2006-01-22 12:55:
> I'm going to take a flying guess here: the DVD drive hasn't had its
> region defined. Use "regionset" to do this.
> Most DVD drives work fine out of the box under Linux, but one which I
> recently purchased would not play DVDs until I set the region.
>
> As far as I know, the region setting is then ignored (I don't have any
> non region 2 discs to test with) - but it must be initialised to something.
