If the Region number described on the DVD disc does not correspond to the Region number of this player (Region 1), it will not be able to play the DVD disc. Some DVD discs are manufactured to operate in “all” zones, and those discs are compatible with the A9.

DVD Operation that varies from disc to disc

When a DVD disc is made, the creator has several options to choose in deciding how the disc will operate when played. For instance, some discs begin playing immediately, while other discs display a menu and require a menu selection to be made.

The DVD standard also allows the maker of a DVD disc to disable certain functions at certain times, such as Fast-forward and Stop (this is why you can’t skip past the copyright warning screen). If some feature cannot be used, usually it is the disc preventing the A9 from executing the operation.
