with region “1” or “ALL.” You cannot play back Blu-ray™ Video or DVD-video that are labeled
for other regions. Look for the symbols on your Blu-ray™ Video or DVD-video.
If these region symbols do not appear on your Blu-ray™ Video or DVD-video, you cannot play
back the disc in this player. The letter or number inside the globe refers to region of the world. A
Blu-ray™ Video or DVD-video labeled for a specific region can only be played back in the
