This means your DVD player is not compatible with the region code on your DVD discs. Most commercial DVDs have a region code that ties the DVD to specific regions of the world, as a measure of copy protection. If you really want to play the disc, then you can get a region free player on your pc and this region player program can enable you to play any disc from any regions. You can try Leawo Blu-ray Player which is a free Blu-ray player and a region free player.

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
This means that your DVD Player is not a region free player, the DVD's you are trying to play are locked to some specific region.
I hope you will have a clearer picture now.
Regards, Waqar.

Why wrong region code for portable sylvania dvd player

Region code can be changed. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Viewing it in "Mosaic" or "Magazine" will make surf easy. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. Do a search by type in the brand name of your device at its search box and press "Enter".

Portable 7-inch DVD player

No hack for this player! Best idea is burn region free copies with Anydvd (by Slysoft)and dvd shrink (both free but Anydvd will ask for a fee eventually)
Anydvd strips out all the regions

What does wrong region mean? the player refuses to read and play certain cd's , it says,"wrong region".

It means The Disk Was Not Created In your country. They do this to make more money. Now if its a dvd player then you may be able to make it region free and play it just give me the model number. But if its a c.d you'll have to use your computer to make a copy of it.
Sincerely,

WRONG Region error . Philips DVD65K

Each DVD player is designed only to read discs froma certian region of the globe, and they are labelled 1 through 6 (or ALL). Australian players are designed only to play Region 4 discs. United States discs are Region 1. It is illegal to change the Region code on a DVD player, so I can't tell you how to do it (ironically, it is the most frequently asked question about dvd players on Fixya.com - global world), but there are videos on YouTube that will show you how to do it - I would just enter "philips region code dvd" as your seacrh term. You won't find that exact model, but one of the codes in the video should work. Note that you will only be able to change the region code three times on a Philips - after that you will be locked out. So change it to Region 1 once, and never change it again.
