Region code

Your player has a region code printed on the back of the unit and only will play DVD VIDEOs (playback only) labelled with identical region codes. This system is used to protect copyrights.

DVD VIDEOs labelled ALL will also play on this player.

If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the message “Playback prohibited by area limitations.” will appear on the TV screen. Depending on the DVD VIDEO, there may be no region code indication, even though playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.

Notes

•Notes about DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/ DVD-Rs or CD-Rs/CD-RWs

Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD- Rs, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot be played on this player due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software.

The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, refer to the operating instructions for the recording device. Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA CDs created in Packet Write format cannot be played.

•Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

•For non-European models

Images in DVD-RWs with CPRM* protection may not be played if they contain a copy protection signal. “Copyright lock” appears on the screen.

*CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) is a coding technology that protects the copyright of images.

Note on playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this player plays DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.
