About this owner's manual
This owner's manual explains the basic instructions of this
unit. Some DVD video discs are produced in a manner
that allows specific or limited operation during playback.
As such, the unit may not respond to all operating
commands. This is not a defect in the unit. Refer to
instruction notes of discs.
" " may appear on the TV screen during operation.
A " " means that the operation is not permitted by the unit
or the disc.
For example, sometimes it is unable to stop the playback
of copyright message of the disc when the STOP (I)
button is pressed. Alternatively, the " " may also indicate
that the feature is not available for the disc.
Notes on region numbers
The region number of this unit is 1. If region numbers,
which stand for their playable area, are printed on your
DVD video disc and you do not find
playback will not be allowed by the player. (In this case,
the unit will display a message on-screen.)
Some DVDs that have no region code label may still be
subject to area restrictions and therefore are not playable.
