Re: Can I play a region 1 DVD in my region 2 dvd recorder?

As to region codes specifically, it's my understanding that most DVD
drives for computers ship with the region code unset, meaning that the
drive will play discs from any region.

Manufacturers have all sorts of strategies. One of my DVD burners
claims to change region up to five times (I think) finally locking itself
on whatever region it is then. What I do myself is to copy my DVDs to my
hard drive and remove the region setting.
