Home Theater Term of the Week: DVD Region Code
Region Codes are a DVD coding system enforced by the movie industry that is intended to preserve movie distribution rights and agreements.

Movies are released in theaters in different parts of the world at different times. That Summer blockbuster in the U.S. may end up being the Christmas blockbuster overseas. If that occurs, the DVD version of the movie may be out in the U.S. while it is still showing in theaters overseas.

DVD players and DVDs are labeled for operation on within a specific geographical region in the world. For all the details, read my entire glossary entry for the term: DVD Region Code.
