DVD & Blu-Ray Region Codes
Will DVDs and Blu-ray discs purchased from Sanity.com.au play in any player around the world?
No. Each DVD product is manufactured with a specified region code, allowing playback only in the world region in which the product is distributed.
Most DVDs on Sanity.com.au are Region 4, which incorporates Australia, New Zealand, Central America, Oceania, South America, and Mexico; however, multi-region DVD players—which play DVDs from all or a number of regions—are also available. You will need to refer to your DVD player manufacturer or player specifications to see which type it is.
