This DVD player is designed and manufac-
tured for playback of region “1” encoded DVD
software. The region code on the labels of
some DVD discs indicates which type of player
can play those discs. This unit can play only DVD discs
labeled “1” or “ALL”. If you try to play any other discs, the
message “Check Regional Code” will appear on the TV
screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code
label even though their playback is prohibited by area
limits.
