DVD video systems and regional restrictions

•This console conforms to the PAL broadcast standard. You cannot play discs recorded for other broadcast standards (such as NTSC) on this console (unless the NTSC disc displays the ALL label and an NTSC compatible TV is used).

•Some DVD videos are marked with region numbers such as 2 . The number contained within the symbol represents the region number of DVD players on which the disc can be played. DVD videos that do not bear this symbol, or that do not display the number 2 cannot be played on your console.

•DVDs with the ALL label can also be played on this console.

If you attempt to play any other DVDs, a message stating “This disc cannot be played due to regional restrictions.” will appear on the screen.

•Some DVDs that have no region code markings may still be subject to area restrictions and may not be playable on the console.

Note on playback operations of DVDs

This console plays DVD video as originally designed by the software producers. Some of the playback features of this console may not have been incorporated into the DVD video design. As a result, some playback features may not be available with certain DVD videos. Please refer to the instructions supplied with your DVD video for details.

Specially-shaped discs

Do not use irregularly-shaped CDs (for example, heart- or star-shaped CDs) as they may cause the console to malfunction.
