About the Symbol Display

Regional Codes

This unit has a regional code printed on the rear of the unit. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled same as the rear of the unit or “ALL”.

Most DVD discs have a globe with one or more num- bers in it clearly visible on the cover. This number must match your unit’s regional code or the disc can- not play.

If you try to play a DVD with a different regional code from your player, the message “Check Regional Code” appears on the TV screen.

DVD-Video regions

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD player also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player.

Discs marked “ALL” will play in any player.

The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of the world.
