Yes. The Apple DVD player 1.1 or higher allows you to change the region setting for a maximun of five times. For example: You played an region 1 disc on your new DVD kit for the first time, the drive will set itself as a "region 1 DVD player", it can then play all region 1 discs, but when you insert and try to play a disc OTHER THAN region 1, it will warn you that you must change the drive's region settings, and you can change it xxx times more... If you choose change, you can choose between 6 different regions (set by DVD forum), after you have set that, if you insert another disc that's different from your CURRENT setting, you will have to change the setting again before you can play it. Such limitations are set by the DVD forum. Hope such info helps. Daytona P.S. BTW, did anyone comfirmed that the DVDack really works??
