It is the responsibility of system manufacturers to select a default DVD region for the DVD drive in PCs they ship. If the manufacturer does not set the default region, Windows will pick a region during first boot or first disc playback based on settings such as locale, language, and time zone. There is no interaction with the user during initial region setting. If there is no disc in the drive, or if the disc has multiple regions (including an all-region disc), the resulting region setting might not be appropriate for the user.

OEMs using OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) builds can add this value to the registry during an "audit mode boot," so the end user never sets the initial region. The alternative to setting the default region using a registry key is to play a single-region disc after initial boot.
