Notes 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.
Make sure to also refer to the instructions supplied with
the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for busi-
ness purposes may not be able to be played on the
unit.
Regional code of the DVD/VCR Receiver and DVDs
This DVD/VCR Receiver is designed and manu-
factured for playback of region “2” encoded DVD
software. The region code on the labels of some
DVDs indicates which type of player can play
those discs. This unit can only play DVDs labeled “2” or
“ALL”. If you try to play any other discs, the message
“Check Regional Code” will appear on the TV screen.
Some DVDs that have no region code label may still be
subject to area restrictions and therefore not playable.
