My dvd does not work its the wrong region can i

Manufacturers of DVDs and DVD players install codes that only allow us to play DVDs that are manufactured for our region. (For example, the U.S. and Canada are region 1, while China is region 6.) To make your DVD player region-free, you'll need to find the unlock codes that will allow it to play DVDs from all over the world. Below are some steps to help make your DVD player region-free.

Purchase or borrow an imported DVD. The only real reason to make your DVD player region-free is if you plan on watching imported DVDs. Locate your DVD player's brand name and model number. These can usually be found on the box the DVD player came in, or on a sticker close to the video inputs or on the bottom of the DVD player. Have your remote handy. You will need your remote to enter the input codes into your DVD player. Locate a Web site that can help you with the codes you need for your particular DVD player, since all DVD players have different codes. Try DVD Exploder or Video Help (see Resources below). Both have an extensive list of codes for almost every kind of DVD player manufactured. Enter your brand name and model number when prompted to do so on the Web site. If your particular model number is not available, try searching under the brand name. Sometimes you will be able to find a model number that is close to your DVD player's model number. Enter the codes into your DVD player with your remote. Be sure the DVD player's door is open-almost all codes require the door to be open. Test your imported DVD to see if it works, once you have entered your code into the DVD player.

So you're saying that already tried a lot of DVD but none of them is working? but this was working fine before is that right?

well it depends on their brand of DVD player once they enter that in a search for region codes find the fix and institute it it will work Some lesser known brands may not have fixes available so hope its a well known brand they have

Turn on power. Open lid. Enter 9735 with the remote and press 'enter', you can now choose between regions on the screen. Select the desired region unlock and press 'enter'. This works well!

what you need is the region code for your dvd player. so you can play region one and any other region dvds. what is the brand and model of your dvd player? then i can check and see if there is a hacking code for you.

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?

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?

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.

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.

There are 7 different regions 0 is region free and 1-6 are country codes. Your region 2 and america is region 1 so this is why the player isn't working with your discs. Usually you can hack/overide the region setting on some DVD players. Sometimes this can be done with the remote but sometimes the player has to be modded. This link will take you to a hack page for audiovox players. If theres a hack for your player then it'll be there.
