Region Codes

DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this DVD
Player. You can not play DVDs that are labeled for other regions.
Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on
your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this DVD Player.
The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the
United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, and small regions near Australia.
A Disc encoded in a specific region format can only play on DVD Players with the
same region code. For example, if a Disc is labeled for Region 2, you can not play the
DVD on this DVD Player.

Color Systems

Different color systems are available throughout the world. The most common color
systems are NTSC, which is used primarily in the United States and North America,
PAL, and SECAM.
This DVD Player uses the NTSC color system. Therefore, the Discs that you play
must be recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play Discs recorded in other for-
mats. The color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.
