Region Codes
DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this Player. You cannot play Discs that are labeled for other regions.
Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this Player.
The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 repre- sents the United States of America, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia.
A Disc encoded in a specific region format can play only on DVD Players that have the same region code. So, if a Disc is labeled for Region 2, you cannot play that DVD on this Player (because it is a Region 1 Player).
Color Systems
Different color systems are available throughout the world. DVD makers record DVDs in a certain color system. The color system of the DVD may appear on the DVD or its case. The most common color systems are NTSC (which is used primarily in the United States), PAL, and SECAM.
This Player is compatible with both the NTSC and PAL color systems. Follow the steps on page 39 to set the Player to NTSC or PAL. Choose a setting that matches the color system of your TV and your DVDs.
