Part 1: What is Region A\/1 Blu-ray <\/strong><\/h2>\n
All Blu-ray Discs have region codes written in letters to indicate a particular zone or region where you can play the discs. Those Blu-ray region codes include the following:<\/p>\n
- Region A\/1: <\/strong><\/li>\n
North America, South America, U.S. Territories, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and other areas of Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n
- Region B\/2: <\/strong><\/li>\n
Europe, Africa, Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand.<\/p>\n
- Region C\/3: <\/strong><\/li>\n
Asia (except for Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and other areas of Southeast Asia)<\/p>\n
For Region A\/1 Blu-ray Discs or ISO files, this means that a computer or a Blu-ray Disc player purchased in countries listed in Region A\/1 can only play Blu-ray Disc that are recorded in that region, in exception to Region-Free discs and players. Suppose you want to play Region A\/1 Blu-ray in Region B\/2, how would you do it? Well, we have the solution just for you, and we will discuss it on the next section of this article.<\/p>\n

If the BD player's area code is different from the disc's, the BD player cannot replay the disc. Many manufacturers allow users to reset or change the area code in BD player to play back the disc that brought from other countries or areas, however, there is a limit on it, people can reset or alter the region code on BD player no more than 5 times usually.
