How to Make a Toshiba DVD Region-Free
A region-free Toshiba DVD player allows you to catch your favorite TV and movie titles in other countries. Whether you want to play a foreign title that isn't available in your country or a movie that's being released sooner elsewhere, getting your DVD player to play region-free films makes it a more useful device. Your Toshiba laptop has region code capability, but if you've used your set number of changes, you'll need a DVD region code or a separate DVD-ROM.
