OVERVIEW

Like DVD technology, Blu-ray Disc (BD) technology uses Region Codes to protect distributed content

such as Hollywood movies from unauthorized copying. The DVD Forum established eight (8) regions

for worldwide DVD distribution while the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) reduced that number to three

(3) regions worldwide. The United States and Canada are in BD Region A.

Although changing the DVD region code is possible through the Microsoft

Windows

Operating

Systems, changing a Blu-ray Disc drive’s BD region code requires a software application. The

Pioneer BDC-2202 ships with an application called Corel

WinDVD

8 that includes a command to

change the BD as well as the DVD region settings.

Please remember that DVD Regions and BD Regions are set separately; the DVD Region Code can

be changed five (5) times and the BD Region Code can be changed five (5) times. For ease of use,

the WinDVD 8 application is capable of setting the region for DVD Titles as well as BD Titles.

Example of Region Code changing limits:

2 Region A

2 Region 2

3 Region C

3 Region 1

4 Region A

5 Region B

5 Region 2

locked at Change # 5

The two media types (DVD and BD) allow up to five (5) changes each before locking the region on

the fifth successful Region Code change for that media type.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

The BD region is set via a BD playback application rather than through the Operating System (OS).

To change the BD region for the BDC-2202 drive, follow the steps below.

1) Install the Pioneer BDC-2202 and the Corel WinDVD 8 application in the computer (PC) if not

3) Double-click the Corel WinDVD 8 application icon to launch the program.

4) Press the Eject button of the BDC-2202 drive and leave the tray open.
