You can try either of these solutions as there does not appear to be a specific instruction for the DVD21:
Harman Kardon DVD1 / DVD5 / DVD10 / DVD20 / DVD50 / DVD1500
1. Player has to be in standby mode, no disc in tray
2. Press 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2
3. Enter region (1-4)
4. Press OPEN, insert a disc
Note: Region is saved, you will have to set the RC every time you want to watch another DVD.
Harman Kardon DVD22 / DVD23 / DVD31 / DVD47 / HS100 HTS
1. Switch on
2. Press OSD
3. Select "Setup"
4. Enter 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 0 (the last number is the region)
See below region codes. It appears Harman Kardon only support 1-4, but it is worth trying 0 and seeing if it works.
First, see if you can find out what type of DVD it is PAL or NTSC. The difference (You need to keep this in mind when selecting your region):
NTSC: usually associated with the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Philippines, Taiwan, and other countries.
PAL usually associated with Europe, most of Africa, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, North Korea, and other countries (and Brazil, but using the refresh rate and resolution commonly associated with NTSC).

0. Informal term meaning "worldwide". Region 0 is not an official setting; discs that bear the region 0 symbol either have no flag set or have regions 1-6 flags set. Region 0 is commonly referred to as "Region Free", especially when talking about DVD and Blu-ray Disc players.
- United States, Canada, Bermuda, Caribbean, U.S. territories
- Europe, Middle East, Egypt, Japan, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho, Greenland, French Overseas departments and territories
- Southeast Asia, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau

- Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Africa (except Egypt, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho), Central Asia, Mongolia, North Korea
- China
- Reserved for future use, MPAA-related DVDs and "media copies" of pre-releases in Asia

ALLRegion ALL discs have all eight flags set, allowing the disc to be played in any location, on any player.

Good Luck.
Sorry about the repost, I was trying to use the 'ask the expert' feature but the query seems to have been reposted on the general area.
