These features include wide-screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround sound, multiple camera angles, and interactive menus. TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical disc drive is set to play region 1 (North America) for DVD-ROMs or BD-ROMs, depending on the type of drive. If you play a DVD or BD from another region, the drive will automatically change to play in the format of the other region. The drive will allow you to change regions four times. On the fourth change, the region will be "locked in." That is, the drive will only play DVDs and BD from that last region. Note that changing from region 1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.
