Types of Playable Discs

• The DVD player does not support DVD-VR discs that

use CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable
Media).

• Some audio CDs feature copy protection that doesn’t

conform to the official CD standard. Since these are
nonstandard discs, they may not play properly in the
DVD player.

• The DVD player does not support disc types not listed.

• The DVD player supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.

• Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those

shown below, because you may damage the DVD
player.

• Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape,

rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custom-
made labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the
DVD player and you may not be able to remove the
disc properly.

About playing copy-controlled CDs

CD standards. They are special discs and may not play
on the DVD player.

tion Manual is not available on that disc.

Regional Codes

This unit has a regional code printed on the rear of the
unit. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled same as
the rear of the unit or “ALL”.

• Most DVD discs have a globe with one or more num-

bers in it clearly visible on the cover. This number
must match your unit’s regional code or the disc can-
not play.

• If you try to play a DVD with a different regional code

from your player, the message “Check Regional
Code” appears on the TV screen.

DVD-Video regions

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case
somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world
the disc is compatible with. Your DVD player also has a
region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs
from incompatible regions will not play in this player.
Discs marked “ALL” will play in any player.

The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of
the world.
