Your DVD is region code protected. Check the back panel of your DVD player, where the connectors are, and you will find the region code. If the region code of your player is not "1" then you cannot play the DVD.
However, the region code can be unlocked, if you provide me with the player's exact model number.

The region code sticker looks like this one of this:

If you are still in US, then honestly, this problem is beyond me. However if you are currently residing in a diff country then you will have to rest the region again to 1 and then again back to the region you currently residing in. I am afraid but you will have to make this change whenever you want to watch any DVD from US!......sodeep

Iv just fitted a kenwood kvt 815 to my car im trying to play a dvd and its saying region code error
Countries around the world have their own REGIONS. If your DVD unit is for the American market then it will only read and play discs that are REGION 1 or REGION FREE. Anything else it will not. REGION 1 : United States, U.S. territories REGION 2 : Europe, Middle East, Egypt, Japan, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho, Greenland REGION 3 : Southeast Asia, REGION 4 : Mexico, Central America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Oceania REGION 5 : India, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia REGION 6 : People's Republic of China, Hong Kong
I believe you get the idea.

I have just bought a Toshiba SD590EKB dvd player and it will not play certain discs, it keeps on saying wrong regional code. How can I solve this problem?
Check the back of the dvd player and it will have a small sticker with a small picture of a globe (or earth) and it will have a number being one through to six, this will determine what region discs you can play in you machine. Ill list the regions and their codes, i hope this helps.

Region 1 - The U.S., U.S. territories and Canada.

Region 2 - Europe*, Japan, Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland.

Region 3 - Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong .

Region 4 - Mexico, South America, Central America, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific. Islands, Caribbean

Region 5 - Russia (former USSR), Eastern Europe, India, most of Africa, North Korea, Mongolia

Region 6 - China

Good luck.
