What Dose Wrong Disc Region Mean??
1047713
Xbox game discs only work with Xbox consoles that are sold in the same region. For example, if you purchase an Xbox 360 console in North America, you cannot play game discs that are sold in Europe or in Asia. An Xbox 360 console that is sold in Europe can only play game discs that are sold in Europe, and an Xbox 360 console that is sold in Asia can only play game discs that are sold in Asia. It is not possible to make an Xbox 360 from one region play discs that were produced for another region. Back to the top THINGS TO TRY 1. Determine whether the game disc is from the same region as the region where you purchased the Xbox console. To verify the region, view the back of the game package. Look for a one of the following codes: * NTSC: North America and South America (United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil) * NTSC-J: Asia (Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan) * PAL: Europe, South Africa, India, Australia, and New Zealand 2. If this symptom occurs with only one or two discs, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for the specific game title or titles. If you find a known problem, follow the information that is discussed in the article. 3. If this behavior occurs with only one or two discs, and no known problem exists, return the disc or discs to the retail store where you made the purchase. 4. Turn off and unplug your console, remove the Hard Disk Drive unit and any attached Memory Units, and then reconnect your console. Try the disc again. If this appears to resolve the issue, turn off and disconnect your console, re-attach the HDD and MU, and then delete any saved games for the game title in question.

No idea! Certainly haven't received that message before. Exchange product & try another disk or try another xBox!

Your player came with a paper with a code sequence to set it to region 2. If you can't find it message me again and I will help you.

thanx for posting this.. i have no idea why, and I just bought one.. so I'm going to check my dvd/cd drive too! Also, is your drive partitioned correctly? My D drive had more gigs than C..

Not a silly question. The side with the writing is the "up" side of the disc. My desktop sits on its left edge, so there is no "up" and half the time I put a disc in backward. The writing should be on the same side as the "up" side of the front of your drive where it says "DVD" or whatever. Put the blank side toward the button that ejects your drive and you should be good.

as with any other drive, you have the option to change the region. However you have a limited lifetime numbers of changes (4). Thus, once you change it, you can't just go back and forth. There is some software to circumvent this issue (slysoft anydvd and others) and play any region DVD. see more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code#Computer_DVD_drives

According to the Manual it's a "USA,Canada" region, however, it also says DVD = Region ALL, and Region 1; Blu-Ray = Region ALL. Check your disks, for DVD's they probably have to be region 1 or All (all 8 regions set) and for Blu-Rays look for the Globe with an "A" on it encompassed by a Hexagon. Hope that helps :-)

I haven't had any problems in that area. The disc that was sent with the machine didnt work on install so i had to contact scan snap and get them to send me online download instructions. Maybe where you need to go for problems.

It depends on your system. Check your disc information page, or you dvd guide.

I only buy regions codes for my country, the USA. Any other regions will NOT play. That's why I always double check to see what code the DVD is in. I also do not buy many BluRay DVDs because the formats are sometimes annoyingly slow to function.

Simple answer: Yes. BluRay disk fall into 4 geographic regions identified as A,B,C, and D. The US is region A and Europe is region B. It also plays all 8 DVD regions.

No idea because the disc is not standard size and my computer could not read it, so software never installed and unit returned for refund.

There is a tiny row of text, curved along the edge of the disc, which says:Verbatim BD-R DL for VIDEO 50GB 4XThe text is apparently "transparent" text against the otherwise solid white disc surface.

If you had trouble playing an SACD via HDMI but it played okay through the analog outs, that's not a region coding issue. SACD does not use region coding, but it does use a copy protection scheme, called Digital Transmission Content Protection, but only certain discs actually use this copy protection because it limits digital output from a player. It sounds like the region free board is also defeating the DTCP of your SACD discs. I'd be willing to bet that it also defeats the copy protection on standard DVDs too.

I actually live in Peru but to be honest all my discs have been bought in US. I am out of the country now but I can check next week if it works with region 4

From the manual:This unit has been designed to play back DVDwith region 1. DVD must be labeled for ALLregions or for region 1 in order to play back onthe unit. You cannot play back DVD that arelabeled for other regions. Look for the symbolson the right on your DVD. If these regionsymbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannotplay back the DVD in this unit.
