Since the DVD drive I received was made in Japan it’ll definitely play region 2 as that is Japan’s region . I already use the PC’s drive for Region 1 . I just hooked up the drive to my downstairs HP PC which I do not use for DVDs and it played a region 2 DVD without a problem . I cannot check to see if it will still play Region 1 via the internal drive because it was damaged when the PC fell to the kitchen floor when we were got my 7.6 quakes last April . I am a computer dummy , but it would seem logical that each drive would have its own region code so could be used in conjunction . Just want to confirm .
pardon typo ...PC fell to the kitchen floor when we were HIT BY 7.6 quakes last April .
