	DVD Region Coding System - Player Modification (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Since a DVD player could work in multiple areas of the world, except for the one difference of the region code, manufacturers claim that a modifiable region code frees up the manufacturing process so that shipping players to one region or another is a simple matter of configuration.
		However the codes are initially leaked, the Internet is the source of choice for anyone seeking a remote control code for their player, with entire websites dedicated to the sharing and discussion of DVD codes.
		While the task of choosing one may be entering a new arena for some, DVD players that are designed to circumvent region coding are often the easiest solution for those who are disinterested in tinkering with their DVD players on a regular basis to modify the region code.

	More on DVD Region Codes
		DVD is an optical disc storage media format that is used for playback of movies with high video and sound quality and for storing data.
		DVD movies can contain a region code, denoting which area of the world it is targeted at, which is completely independent of encryption.
		In the early days, region 0 players were created that would allow any region disc to be played in them, but studios responded by adjusting regioned discs to refuse to play if the player was determined 0 (since no player should anyway).
