I recently purchased a DVD from England. In matters having to do with
stereos, DVDs, etc., I am somewhat challenged. I thought a DVD is a DVD is
a DVD.

Well, the darned thing won't play. The only thing that comes on screen is
"Region Code Error." Sure enough, I find "Region 2" printed on the back of
the case. However, I have no idea what that means.
Questions:
1. Does this indicate some sort of coding on the DVD?
2. Is there any way I can adjust my player?
3. How can I play this DVD?
