A Code free DVD player is capable of playing DVD discs around the world. DVD discs are encoded into six regions which include: the U.S., U.S. territories and Canada in Region 1, Europe, Japan, South Africa, Greenland, the Middle East, Egypt in Region 2, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia in Region 3, Mexico, South America, Pacific Islands, Caribbean, Central America, Australia, New Zealand in Region 4, Russia, Eastern Europe, Mongolia, India, most of Africa, North Korea in Region 5 and China in Region 6.

The USA based Motion picture studios wanted to control the release of movies around the world using DVD region codes. It was due to the movie release system and the high quality of DVD used by Hollywood, the Region 2-6 were prevented from viewing the movies before release in their region which means that the movies from Region 1 will not play on a DVD player of Regions 2-6. In fact Region 1 DVD players play only on Region 1 discs, Region 2 DVD players play only on Region 2 discs and so on. DVD players are made to play discs from only one region.

Due to these difficulties they made code free DVD’s so that it becomes compatible with all the DVD players from the six Regions. With code free DVD’s you will be able play discs from any region in your DVD player without any errors and the new Region Code Enhancing discs with modification that allows you to change the region code of your player rather than one that sets your code to all regions. Companies are available to modify the existing DVD player to be code free. You need to purchase the chip from the company and send the DVD player and they will modify your DVD player and send it back to you with the required modifications. The modifications, the cost of the chip and courier service will come out to be less expensive than purchasing a brand new code free player.
