Region Codes

DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this Player. You cannot play Discs that are labeled for other regions.

Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this Player.

The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 repre- sents the United States of America, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia.

A Disc encoded in a specific region format can play only on DVD Players that have the same region code. So, if a Disc is labeled for Region 2, you cannot play that DVD on this Player (because this is a Region 1 Player).

Color Systems

Different color systems are available throughout the world. DVD makers record DVDs in a certain Color System. The Color System of the DVD may appear on the DVD or its case. The most common color systems are NTSC, which is used primarily in the United States and North America, PAL, and

SECAM.

The Player’s Color System must be the same as your DVDs and your TV. Set the Player’s Color System to NTSC or PAL by repeatedly pressing VIDEO SYS on the remote while playback is stopped. Details are on page 33.

Cleaning Discs

Clean Discs with a cleaning cloth. Wipe from the center to the edge in a straight line.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially-available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog discs.

If the Player cannot read Discs correctly, use a commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the Player from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a Disc is not possible then. Leave the power on for about one hour with no Disc in the unit until playback is possible.
