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 con-
tent designed by the software manufacturer, some play-
back 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/CD Receiver and DVDs
This DVD/CD Receiver is designed and manufactured 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.
