Most DVD players are made to all regions then locked into one specific region and are unlocked through a code entered into the handset. Either you entered this code through blind luck or it has gone wrong and reset itself to a different code.
Try http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks and see if your player is there to change it back.

It looks like you are trying to play a US DVD or the player has somehow been locked onto another region.
You don't say which model you have but try this:
1) Open the DVD Door, on remote press Setup, Right, Right, Right (that’s the arrows in the middle of remote)
2) Enter 9653,a service page will appear,
3) Use Up/Down Bottom to change region Codes
4) Set to 0 (zero) for multi-region
If this does not work then leave your model number and I will look again!
