Region Codes and Color Systems

DVDs must meet the requirements for Region Codes and Color Systems before you can use them with the DVD Recorder. DVDs must be labelled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this DVD Recorder. You cannot play Discs that are labeled for other regions. These symbols must appear on your DVDs, or you cannot play the DVD in this DVD Recorder.

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

Furthermore, recordings are made according to different color systems throughout the world. The most common color systems are NTSC, which is used primarily in the United States and North America, PAL, and SECAM.

This DVD Recorder is compatible with NTSC and PAL. Make sure the Discs you play were recorded in NTSC or PAL. The color system of the DVD may appear on the DVD or on the Disc case. However, when playing a PAL Disc, the Recorder must be connected to a PAL-compatible TV using either the S-VIDEO OUT (Y/C) (EXT 1), Component Video Out (Y PB PR) (EXT3), or PROG SCAN OUT (Y PB PR) jacks of the Recorder. The Recorder’s VIDEO OUT (CVBS) (EXT2) jack does not send a clear PAL signal. If a PAL Disc is copy-protected, the video signal (or picture) may not be cor- rect if you are using the PROG SCAN OUT (Y PB PR) jacks on the Recorder.
