DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) offers fantastic audio and video, thanks to Dolby Digital
surround sound and MPEG-2 video compression technology. Now you can enjoy these
realistic effects in the home, as if you were in a movie theater or concert hall.
Home Theaters and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in
order for the disc to play. If the codes do not match, the disc will not play.
The Region Number for this player is given on the rear panel of the player.
(Your Home Theater will only play DVDs that are labeled with identical region codes.)

picture from copy-protected DVD discs.
