Example region code
DVD Regions
All DVD discs sold contain one or more region codes. Your DVD
player also has a region code which corresponds to the country/
region in which you bought it. You can find the region code of
your player by looking on the rear panel—you should see a
symbol that looks something like this:
You’ll find a similar mark on all DVD disc boxes, indicating
which regions it is compatible with. This unit will only play
discs with compatible region codes.
DVD video copy protection
Some DVD discs contain a video copy protection signal that
prevents high quality copying to video tape. If the video signal
from this system is fed to your TV via a VCR, you may notice
some picture disturbance with some discs. Connect directly to
your TV to avoid this.
Video CD PBC mode
Some Video CDs contain menus from which you can navigate
the contents of the disc. When you load these discs into the
player they start playing under what’s called playback control
(PBC). Usually, the first thing you’ll see is a menu from which
you can select a part of the disc to watch. Under PBC, features
such as repeat, program and random play are not available.
Disc and player restrictions
The DVD format gives disc makers a lot of flexibility and
control over how material on a disc is presented. If you try and
do something that the disc currently playing does not permit,
the following symbol appears on-screen:
If you attempt an operation that the player cannot carry out
with the currently loaded disc, this symbol appears:
