Region Codes

This DVD/VCR has a Region One (1) DVD Player. DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on the DVD Player. You cannot play DVDs 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 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 DVD labelled for a specific region can only play on DVD Players with the same region code.

Color Systems

DVDs are recorded in different color systems throughout the world. The most com- mon color systems are NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States and North America), PAL, and SECAM.

This DVD Player uses NTSC, so DVDs you play must be recorded in the NTSC sys- tem. You cannot play DVDs recorded in other formats. The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.

Playable Video Cassettes

The VCR of this DVD/VCR has a High Quality (HQ) system and is compatible with existing Video Home System (VHS) equipment. Use only video cassettes that have

the mark. The use of other tapes may result in poor picture quality and exces- sive deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the warranty if dam- age occurs.

The VCR also has a 19 micron head, which provides a better picture when you view tapes recorded in slow speed (SLP).
