DVD Video regions

All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the
case somewhere that indicates which

with. Your DVD system also has a region mark,
which you can find on the rear panel. Discs
from incompatible regions will not play in this
system. Discs marked ALL will play in any
system.

Handling discs

When holding discs of any type, take care not
to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the
disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the
center hole and edge.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback
performance. Take care also not to scratch the
label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as
the recorded side, scratches can still result in
a disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with
fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry
cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to
the outside edge as shown in the diagram
below.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using
straight strokes.
Don't wipe the disc surface using circular
strokes.
