Regional code of the DVD recorder and

DVDs

This DVD recorder can only play
Region “2“ or “all“ coded DVDs. The
region code on the label of some
DVDs shows which type of DVD
recorder can play those discs. If you
play other discs the error message “Incorrect region
code. Playback not possible.“ will be displayed on

Some discs may not have the label with the
region code even though they cannot be played in
all regions.

and Video CD playback functions can be pro-
grammed in a particular way by some software

manufacturer, some playback functions may not be
available whilst other additional functions may be
available. Further information can be found in the
instructions supplied with the DVDs and Video CDs.
The unit may not be able to play some DVDs made
for specifi c business purposes.
