too large.
• It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD Video Format
only) discs. "DVD" lights on the display panel when a +R/+RW
disc is loaded.
• This system accommodates the NTSC and PAL system. When
you play an NTSC disc with the scan mode set to PAL (see page
18), the NTSC video signal is converted to the PAL60 signal and
output.
• The Non-DVD side of a "DualDisc" does not comply with the
"Compact Disc Digital Audio" standard. Therefore, the use of
Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be
recommended.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs,
their actual operation may be different from what is explained
in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc
structure, not a malfunction of this system.

Region code of DVD VIDEO

Region Code numbers. This system can play back DVD VIDEO
discs whose Region Code numbers include the system's Region
Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.
• Example of playable DVD:
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
1 "REGION CODE ERROR!" appears on the TV screen and playback
cannot start.
Some discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.

Unplayable discs

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, SACD,
etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
