Additional information
DVD Video regions
All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the
case somewhere that indicates which
region(s) of the world the disc is compatible
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.
The diagram below shows the various DVD
regions of the world.
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.

En
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using
straight strokes.
Don't wipe the disc surface using circular
strokes.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to
clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use
benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents,
including products designed for cleaning vinyl
records.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable
than vinyl records, you should still take care to
handle and store discs correctly. When you're
not using a disc, return it to its case and store
upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold,
humid, or hot environments (including under
direct sunlight).
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc,
or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-
tipped writing instrument. These could all
damage the disc.
For more detailed care information see the
instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player
at a time.
