Most players will allow you to change the region code.... up to 5 times.
That doesn't help someone who wants to play DVD disks having two different region codes. Let's say someone is in Europe. He locally purchases some DVD disks for the Europe region (call them E1, E2, ... En). Then he comes to the U.S. He now locally purchases some DVD disks for the U.S. region (call them U1, U2, ... Un). If he has only *one* DVD player (no matter where purchased) he can set it to only __one__ region (either for U or for E). It will then NOT play the disks having the other region code. [If he tries to change the region code back and forth, upon the fifth change the DVD player will typically remain *stuck* at its then current region code, and will refuse to change the region code any more.] What people often do is to purchase -two- DVD players and set the region code in the one for E and in the other for U. Then, by choosing the appropriate player to use, they can play the disks they have of either kind. mikus
