Nearly all DVD home video products are protected against unauthorized
distribution outside their licensed territories by what is known as region encoding.
Region 5 DVDs are encoded discs that are playable only on DVD players
manufactured for use in Russia and other north central Asia countries, India,
Pakistan, Afganistan and other southwest Asia countries, and northern and central
African countries. Depending on the country’s dominant television format,
Region 5 DVDs are either SECAM, PAL or NTSC format discs.
Region 5 SECAM, NTSC or PAL discs will not play on most American DVD players.
Many Region 5 DVD players are manufactured to play SECAM, PAL and NTSC
discs, regardless of region encoding (consult your player’s manual).
