usually wherever you buy a product that has a DVD player, that's the region it's gonna be set to. Like a laptop from the USA will have a region 1 DVD player in it.

There is a program I use to bypass region settings called AnyDVD

it might be better to try and find a cracked version or something, but it works perfect for me

depending on how good your DVD playing software is, there is a chance that you have a multi-region option that letslyou switch between region settings fairly easily.
