DISCS PLAYED

Compatible Discs

DVD, Video CD (VCD), and CD-Audio discs are compatible with the

system. Compatible discs have these logos on their labels:

Also, the unit can play most CD-Recordable discs containing CD-Au-

dio, MP3 ﬁ les, and JPEG images - but not all such discs. Since these

discs are usually made on home computers, there is no certiﬁ cation

process ensuring that all such discs play on all players.

DVD Regions

When a DVD disc is created, it is encoded with a “Region number.”

The disc will only play on DVD players with the same Region number.

For instance, a Region 3 disc won’t play on a Region 1 player.

Region 1: U.S. and U.S. Territories, Canada

Region 2: Japan, Western Europe, Middle East, South Africa

Region 3: South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast and East Asia

Region 4: New Zealand, Australia, Paciﬁ c Islands, Mexico, Central/

South America.

Region 5: Russia and the former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian subconti-

nent, North Korea

Region 6: China

Region 8: Special International Venues (Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc.)

INCOMPATIBLE DISCS

The following disc types are incompatible with this system:

· DVD-ROM/DVD-RAM/DVD+RAM discs.

· Most DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW discs.

· Some Photo CD discs.

· CD-ROM data discs.

· CD-Audio discs made with certain copy protection methods.

· Any DVD with a different Region number than the unit.

· Any disc that does not meet DVD Forum standards.

Why the system doesn’t respond the same way to all discs

When a DVD disc is created, the creator has to deﬁ ne how the disc

will operate when 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

functions at certain times, such as Fast-Forward and Stop (which is

why you can’t skip past the copyright warning screen). If a DVD feature

isn’t working for you, usually the disc is preventing the player from

performing that function temporarily.

Discs that don’t properly load and play

Some CD and DVD discs, especially homemade and low quality discs

which do not have all the data needed to properly initialize all DVD

players, may not load and play properly. They may even create a

state where the DVD player will not eject the disc at all. In these

cases, use a paper clip to press the Reset button (this button’s

location is shown on page 7).
