What's a "Region Code" ?

This is not really a valid question for this forum, but I
figured I'd take a shot that someone here might have run
into this issue.

I just created a ("+RW") DVD with ArcSoft's ShowBiz. It
plays fine on PCs, but my JVC DVD player rejects it.
When I checked the manual for the DVD player, it
specifically identified formats that it does not support
(e.g., "-RW", etc), but then adds that supported formats
MUST contain a "1" in their "Region Code" -- the doc for
the (HP +RW) disc mentioned zip re: such a code.

Anyone here know what a "Region Code" is ???

Did a quick web search:

Apparently nothing to do with my problem.
