DVD Regions

This DVD player is designed and manufactured to respond to the Region Management Information that is recorded on a DVD disc. If the Region number described on the DVD disc does not correspond to the Region number of this player, it will not be able to play the DVD disc. Some DVD discs are manufactured to operate in “all” zones,

DVD Operations that differ from disc to disc

When a DVD disc is created, the creator has to define how the disc will operate when it’s 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 certain functions at certain times, such as Fast-forward and Stop (which is why you can’t skip past the copyright warning screen). If some feature cannot be used, usually the disc is temporarily preventing the player from executing the operation.

Discs which do not properly load

Some homemade discs which do not have all the data needed to properly initialize all DVD players may not load properly, and may create a state where the DVD player will not eject the disc at all. In these cases, you must have your Rosen authoriozed dealer reset the system.
