Essential Information

Regional code of the Recorder and DVDs

2

This 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 the TV screen.

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