About region numbers

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. In this case the attention sentence Incompatible disc region number Can't play disc is displayed on screen. Discs marked ALL will play in any player. The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of the world.
