This system accommodates the PAL and NTSC systems. When you play back an NTSC disc with the video signal type set to “PAL. 576I”,

“PAL. 576P”, “PAL. 720P”, “PAL.1080I” or “PAL.1080P” (refer to page 11), the NTSC video signal is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.

For countries/areas other than Central and South America, Middle Eastern countries or South Africa

If a DVD VIDEO with an improper region code number is loaded, playback cannot start.

•On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs, SVCDs or DivX files, their actual operation may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc/file pro- gramming and disc/file structure, not a mal- function of this system.
