Well, I must have gotten frustrated, and inadvertantly hit the button to change to region 1. So now my dvd plays fine!

But, I still wonder, what am I going to miss out on if I had left the drive at its original region code of 0 (zero)?

Can I actually change it back to 0 using Windows DVD Region setting? Is "0" an option?

Also do you get 5 changes per firmware version or overall for the entire drive?

Did I do the right thing?
