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 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 playback” 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.

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.
