DISCS PLAYED
Compatible Discs
DVD, Video CD (VCD), and CD-Audio discs are compatible with the
system. Compatible discs have these logos on their labels:
Also, the unit can play most CD-Recordable discs containing CD-Au-
dio, MP3 fi les, and JPEG images - but not all such discs. Since these
discs are usually made on home computers, there is no certifi cation
process ensuring that all such discs play on all players.
DVD Regions
When a DVD disc is created, it is encoded with a “Region number.”
The disc will only play on DVD players with the same Region number.
For instance, a Region 3 disc won’t play on a Region 1 player.
Region 1: U.S. and U.S. Territories, Canada
Region 2: Japan, Western Europe, Middle East, South Africa
Region 3: South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast and East Asia
Region 4: New Zealand, Australia, Pacifi c Islands, Mexico, Central/
South America.
Region 5: Russia and the former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian subconti-
nent, North Korea
Region 6: China
Region 8: Special International Venues (Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc.)

INCOMPATIBLE DISCS
The following disc types are incompatible with this system:
· DVD-ROM/DVD-RAM/DVD+RAM discs.
· Most DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW discs.
· Some Photo CD discs.
· CD-ROM data discs.
· CD-Audio discs made with certain copy protection methods.
· Any DVD with a different Region number than the unit.

Why the system doesn’t respond the same way to all discs
When a DVD disc is created, the creator has to defi ne how the disc
will operate when loaded into a DVD player. For instance, some discs
begin playing immediately, while other discs only display a menu and
require a menu selection to be made before playback will start.
The DVD standard also allows the maker of a DVD disc to disable
functions at certain times, such as Fast-Forward and Stop (which is
why you can’t skip past the copyright warning screen). If a DVD feature
isn’t working for you, usually the disc is preventing the player from
performing that function temporarily.
Discs that don’t properly load and play
Some CD and DVD discs, especially homemade and low quality discs
which do not have all the data needed to properly initialize all DVD
players, may not load and play properly. They may even create a
state where the DVD player will not eject the disc at all. In these
cases, use a paper clip to press the Reset button (this button’s
location is shown on page 7).
