To raise the clips, open the tray, remove any discs that might be present, and push the clips up using the side tabs by pushing from the underside of the tray. To insert the disc, slide it forward against the spring-loaded tray until the disc clears the front tabs, and then allow the spring to slide the disc back under the tabs.
Changing the DVD region code Attention: Regionalization and Copy Protection (the DVD region code) uses the content scramble system (CSS) standard to prevent unauthorized duplication of the intellectual property rights distributed on DVDs.

CSS works by inhibiting the transmission of unencrypted data without proper authorization.
