DVD Regional Code

Your DVD player has been designed to process regional management information that is stored on DVD discs. The regional code for your player is 2 (Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, Japan). Only DVD discs that have regional codes of 2 or ALL (for all regions) can be played by your player.

Playback of MP3, WMA, JPEG and DivX Files

Your player supports playback of MP3, WMA, JPEG and DivX VOD files. When a disc is loaded, the player will automatically search for supported files and begin playback automatically. In stop mode, the following screen will appear:

•Use the navigation buttons to move to different files or directories.

•Press ENTER to play the file highlighted by the cursor or start slideshow in case of JPEG files.

Registration for DivX VOD Files

DivX VOD files are downloaded after paying a rental from certain commercial websites. Prior to downloading a VOD, you need to input the registration number of your DVD player on the purchase form on the site. The registration number can be located in the [Setup Menu] under the [Rating] submenu.

Note: If you cannot play a DivX VOD file recorded on a CD-R disc after downloading it, the rental period allocated during purchase from the website may have expired. It is also possible that the recorded file is not compatible with your player because of different versions or incorrect download parameters. The parameters used when copying to CD-R may be another reason for this. Since it is not possible here to supply all the information, parameters and advice relating to the use of DivX VOD files, we recommend that you visit specialist websites such as www.divx.com/vod.
