Regional code of the VCR/DVD Recorder and DVDs
This VCR/DVD Recorder is designed and manu-
factured 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 unit 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.

otes on DVDs and Video CDs

may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers.
As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to

some playback features of the unit may not be available
or other functions may be added.
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs
and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business pur-
poses may not be played on the unit.
