Regional code of the DVD Recorder and DVDs
This DVD Recorder is designed and manufac-
tured for playback of Region 4 encoded DVD
software. The region code on the labels of some DVD
discs indicates which type of DVD Recorder can play
those discs. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled 4
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 playback is prohibited by
area limits.
otes on DVDs and Video CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs
may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers.
As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to
disc content designed by the software manufacturer,
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.
