DVD region code was designed for movie studios to control the release plan for different regions across the world. Different regions have different region code so that the DVD you buy from one region cannot be played on the DVD player that has a different region code. Basically, what it means is that you can only watch the DVD in your own region, and it's not allowed by the movie studio for you to watch any DVD that is from other regions.
Some DVD player can be hacked in order to unlock the region code restriction and be made region free, Phillips for an example.
Step 1: Go to the "VideoHelp" website and go to the "DVD hack" section
Step 2: On the section, search for the model number of your player, like "Philips HTS3544?
Step 3: Then click on it, there will be a detailed instruction for hacking the DVD player exclusively for your DVD player model. Do as it suggests and your DVD player will be hacked region free.
Be noted that not all DVD players can be hacked, and not all hackable player can be found on this site. The solutions for new models will be updated by users, so if you can't find your model, just wait for a couple of days and come back, or leave a request, chances are your model will be updated some day in the future.
DVDs have region codes to prevent black-market selling of them and
whatnot. Where did you buy the DVD? Where did you buy your DVD player? R I don't think so.
What if you moved to another country? What if you decided to take your
player on your yacht and sit out in international waters watching DVDs? R Try deregioning the hardware. Get the make and model number and enter
it with "de-region" or "DVD region hack" into google. You may find
instructions for de-regioning the player. It usually consists of taking
any discs out, restarting the machine and then entering a number code
that allows you to set the region to "0". Most of the cheaper,
Chinese-made DVD players have a work-around like this. Post the model
and maybe I can find it for you.

Almost all commercial DVDs that are sold have region code, which only allows the DVD to be played on DVD players that have this region code, and the only DVD players that typically do have this region code are those sold in that same region.
You can use a region free DVD player program to play your region-locked DVD discs on your computer. You can try Leawo Blu-ray Player. Leawo Blu-ray Player is the very program you can use to bypass the DVD region code of a disc.
It means the wrong region will not play your dvd disc at your present location, so if you moved from another country to your present location the disc will not play.
Many DVD players are preset to one region and if you use a DVD destined for any other region, the player will refuse to play. Some players have the option to change this to universal mode. Check your player's manual if yours has this facility.
Yes. You can play VCD movies and and Audio CDs on most players.
DVDs are ecoded with region codes to indicate what area of the world they are made for. These codes may be 1,2,3, etc depending on which region they are made for.
DVD player read these codes and if the disc region code does not match the region the device is made for, the player will not play the disc.
Region 1 is for USA so most DVDp players made for use in USA require region 1 discs.
Some DVD players called multi region DVD players can be set to play different region DVDs but they are typically more expr=ensive then one region players and the code must be changed each time a different region disc is played.
you can reset the settings through the menu, its under the advanced option in the menu. however, its not a regional error, if it was in the wrong region, it would say wrong region and not wrong disk, try putting the region back to 1 or 0 or 9, 1 is USA, 9 and 0 are all regions.
I have the same problem. I load the dvd in and after some time it comes up wrong disc. Up until now it has been working well. This is the second coby dvd as i replaced the first one under warrenty with the same problem however it came up with wrong regional disc
Model :Yukai.
