About playing copy-controlled CDs
Some copy-controlled CDs may not conform to official
CD standards. They are special discs and may not play
on the DV-CP704.
DVD Region Numbers

Region 1 DVD-Video discs bearing this logo.

If you attempt to play a disc intended for another region,

Function Support
The following icons are used throughout this manual to
indicate which functions can be used with the various
disc formats and file types.
About this Manual
This manual explains how to use all of the DVD player’s
functions. Although the DVD standard offers many spe-
cial features, not all discs use them all, so depending on
the disc being played, the DVD player may not respond
to certain functions. See your disc’s sleeve notes for sup-
ported features.
When you attempt to use a DVD feature that is
not available, this logo may appear onscreen,
indicating that the feature is not supported by
the current disc or by the DVD player.
