Region code
0 - Informal term meaning "worldwide". Region 0 is not an official setting; discs that bear the region 0 symbol either have no flag set or have region 1–6 flags set.
1 - Canada, United States; U.S. territories; Bermuda
2 - Western and Central Europe; Western Asia; Egypt, Japan, South Africa, Swaziland; United Kingdom, Turkey, French overseas territories
3 - Southeast Asia; South Korea; Taiwan; Hong Kong
4 - Australia; Oceania; Central and South America; Caribbean; Mexico
5 - Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Africa, Central and South Asia, Mongolia, North Korea.
6 - China, Hong Kong
7 - Reserved for future use (found in use on protected screener copies of MPAA-related DVDs and "media copies" of pre-releases in Asia)
8 - International venues such as aircraft, cruise ships, etc.
ALL - Region ALL discs have all 8 flags set, allowing the disc to be played in any locale on any player.

Hope that helps.

Yes, if you are in the UK, a region 2 DVD will work on your player.

You cannot play DVDs with other regions, i.e. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6, unless you have a multi-region player. You can usually check if your player is multi-region by looking at its rear (back) side. There should be a globe sign which says "ALL" or "0". Otherwise, it would just show "2", which means it only plays region 2 and all-region DVDs.

Hope that wasn't too confusing It's always wise to check what region a DVD is before buying it.
