[Solved] Wrong Region When Playing DVDs with DVD Player

I want to play some DVDs but when I insert it to my hardware, the DVD player says the DVD is the wrong region. The error doesn't happen to my other DVDs. What's wrong?

What does wrong region mean on a DVD player? DVD players only play DVDs encoded to the same region. For example, if you play DVDs purchased from Australia (Region 4) in Canada (Region 1), you will receive such an error message. Sony DVD Player error - Playing of This Disc Prohibited by Area Limits is also such kind of region error. Here are several ways to get rid of the wrong region error on DVD players.

How to Fix Wrong Region Error on DVD Player

1. Change the region of the DVD player to the right region code of the DVD. But the DVD player will be locked to the last set region permanently after you reach the limit of region changes (usually 5).

2. Most DVD players produced by Sony, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Philips, etc. are hackable. Hack your DVD player to make it region free for playing DVDs from any region. But it requires some time. Different models have different hacking methods and unlock codes.
