DISCS PLAYED

Compatible Discs

DVD, Video CD (VCD), and CD-Audio discs discs are compatible with the A10 system. Compatible discs have these logos on their labels:

Also, the unit can play most CD-Recordable discs containing CD- Audio, MP3 files, and JPEG images - but not all such discs. Since these discs are usually made on home computers, there is no certification process ensuring that all such discs play on all players.

DVD Regions

When a DVD disc is created, it is encoded with a “Region number”. The disc will only play on DVD players with the same Region number - for instance, a Region 3 disc won’t play on a Region 1 player.

Region 1: U.S. and U.S. Territories, Canada

Region 2: Japan, Western Europe, Middle East, South Africa

Region 3: South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast and East Asia

Region 4: New Zealand, Australia, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central/ South America.

Region 5: Russia and the former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian subconti- nent, North Korea

Region 6: China

Region 8: Special International Venues (Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc.)

Why the system doesn’t respond the same way to all discs

When a DVD disc is created, the creator has to define how the disc will operate when loaded into a DVD player. For instance, some discs begin playing immediately, while other discs only display a menu and require a menu selection to be made before playback will start.

The DVD standard also allows the maker of a DVD disc to disable functions at certain times, such as Fast-Forward and Stop (which is why you can’t skip past the copyright warning screen). If some DVD feature temporarily isn’t working for you, usually the disc is prevent- ing the player from performing that function.

Discs that don’t properly load and play

Some CD and DVD discs, especially homemade discs which do not have all the data needed to properly initialize all DVD players, may not load and play properly. They may even create a state where the DVD player will not eject the disc at all. In these cases, use a paper clip to press the Reset button (this button’s location is shown on page 7).
