I'm a newbie here, so please be patient with me.

I have a Loewe Xemix DVD on it's way to me, should arrive in a day or two now.

I'm in the UK, and so expect it to only want to play Region 2 discs. I checked on this site and found the following information for this model...
-----------
1. Turn the machine ON and remove any discs.
2. When the display shows 'NO DISC'
3. Enter 'Play', '159'.
4. The display will change to show 11 dashes ('-----------').
5. For region 1 enter the 12 digit code '005000128156',
for region 2 enter the 12 digit code '002000128156'
6. Press 'Play' and the screen will turn red and then reset.
------------

OK, so I think I understand the process, but do not understand what the end result will be. If I am in region 2, do I enter the code for region 1? Will it then play region 1 and 2 discs, or will it think it is a region 1 player, until I flip it back?

Any help would be much appreciated.
