Region Code

This unit has been designed to play back DVD

with region 1. DVD must be labeled for ALL regions or for region 1 in order to play back on

the unit. You cannot play back DVD that are labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols on your DVD. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play back the DVD in this unit.

The number inside the globe refers to region of the world. A DVD labeled for a specific region can only be played back on the unit with the same region code.

Color System

DVD is recorded in different color systems throughout the world. The most common color system is NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States and Canada).

This unit uses NTSC, so DVD you play back must be recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play back DVD recorded in PAL color systems.
