Regional code of the DVD/VCR Receiver and DVDs
This DVD/VCR Receiver is designed and manufactured
for playback of region “1” encoded DVD soft-
ware. The region code on the labels of some
DVDs indicates which type of player can play
those discs. This unit can only play DVDs
labelled “1” 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 restric-
tions and therefore not playable.

When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise may
be exhibited from the analog stereo output. To avoid
possible damage to the audio system, turn down the
volume before playing back such discs, adjust the vol-
ume gradually, and keep the volume level low. To enjoy
