Regional code of the VCR/DVD Recorder and DVDs
This VCR/DVD Recorder is designed
and manufactured for playback of
Region 1 encoded DVD software. The
region code on the labels of some DVD
discs indicates which type of VCR/DVD Recorder can
play those discs. This VCR/DVD Recorder can play only
DVD discs labeled 1 or ALL. If you try to play any other
discs, the message “Incorrect region code. Can’t play-
back” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs
may not have a region code label even though their play-
back is prohibited by area limits.

ly fixed by software manufacturers. As this
VCR/DVD
Recorder plays DVDs according to disc content
designed by the software manufacturer, some playback
features of the
VCR/DVD
Recorder may not be avail-
able or other functions may be added.
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs.
Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be
played on the
