DVD Basics
Regional Coding
The DVD player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc to play. This
unit's code is Region 1. Discs with other regional codes can't be played in this unit.
Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are two separate menu systems that you can use to access DVD
features: the disc's menu and the DVD player's menu (separate from the TV's menu system). Remember that a feature
only works if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose subtitles, the subtitles only
appear if the disc was created with subtitles. The DVD menu system is explained on page 37.
The Disc menu – The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD player's menu system. The contents
of each disc's menu vary according to how the disc was created and what features are included. Sometimes a disc's
menu appears automatically when you insert the disc, or you can access it by pressing the DISC MENU button.
