Notes on discs

About this owner’s manual

This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions of this DVD/VCR. Some DVD video discs are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited operation during playback. As such, the DVD/VCR may not respond to all operating commands. This is not a defect in the DVD/ VCR. Refer to instruction notes of discs.

The following symbol may appear on the TV screen during operation.

It means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD/ VCR or the disc.

For example, sometimes it is unable to stop the playback of copyright message of the disc when the STOP () button is pressed. Alternatively, this symbol may also indicate that the feature is not available for the disc.

Notes on region numbers

The region number of this DVD/VCR is 2. If region numbers, which stand for their playable area, are printed on your DVD video disc and you do not find 2 or ALL , disc playback will not be allowed by the player. (In this case, the DVD/VCR will display a message on-screen.)
