Nearly all DVD home video products are protected against 
                  unauthorized distribution outside their licensed territories by what is 
                  known as region encoding.
                  Region 3 DVDs are encoded discs that are playable only on DVD 
                  players manufactured for use in Korea, the Philippines and other 
                  southeast Asia countries. Depending on the country’s dominant 
                  television format, Region 3 DVDs are either PAL or NTSC format 
                  discs. 
                  Region 3 NTSC or PAL discs will not play on most American DVD 
                  players. Many Region 3 DVD players are manufactured to play both 
                  PAL and NTSC discs, regardless of region encoding (consult your 
                  player’s manual).
