DVD Regions
This DVD player is designed and manufactured to respond to the
Region Management Information that is recorded on a DVD disc. If the
Region number described on the DVD disc does not correspond to
the Region number of this player, 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 this player.

DVD Operations that differ from disc to disc
When a DVD disc is created, the creator has to define how the disc
will operate when it’s loaded into a DVD player. For instance, some
discs begin playing immediately, while other discs only display a menu
and require a menu selection to be made before playback will start.
The DVD standard also allows the maker of a DVD disc to disable
certain functions at certain times, such as Fast-forward and Stop
(which is why you can’t skip past the copyright warning screen). If
some feature cannot be used, usually the disc is temporarily
preventing the player from executing the operation.
Discs which do not properly load
Some homemade discs which do not have all the data needed to
properly initialize all DVD players may not load properly, and may
create a state where the DVD player will not eject the disc at all. In
these cases, you must have your Rosen authoriozed dealer reset
the system.
