1. A method of operating a digital video disk device that has a non-volatile memory that stores a first configuration, the method comprising: processing a signal from a digital video disk; detecting a reconfiguration code in the signal if the reconfiguration code is stored on the digital video disk; operating the digital video disk device based on the first configuration if the reconfiguration code is not detected; processing reconfiguration instructions from the signal if the reconfiguration code is detected; storing a second configuration in the non-volatile memory based on the reconfiguration instructions; and operating the digital video disk device based on the second configuration in response to storing the second configuration in the non-volatile memory.
