player will output a PAL signal.

However, many video displays will only accept one type of signal and not the other. In order to view DVDs using a different video standard, your display must be capable of accepting both types of signals.

Please consult your owner’s manual for additional information.

Region Coding

In order to control distribution of DVDs, the DVD format has incorporated region coding of both discs and players. There are six distinct regions that have been defined around the world.

In nearly all cases, the automatic region switching will work perfectly. When the disc is loaded, the player queries the disc and temporarily adjusts its own region setting to match the disc.
