Region Codes

DVDs also must be labelled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to be played on this DVD Player. You can not play Discs that are labelled 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 DVD Player.

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.

A Disc encoded in a specific region format can only be played on DVD Players with the same region code. For example, if a Disc is labelled for Region 2, you can not play the DVD on this DVD Player.
