NOT FOR DISCLOSURE TO THE PUBLIC
DVD -Video has been designed to incorporate regional coding for software copyright reasons,
whereby the player is set to permit the replay of only discs from the region in which it has been
marketed and sold. The region coding to which the DV88 has been factory set is marked on its
rear panel. If a user tries to play a disc from a non matching region, then the player will refuse
to play it and the words A invalid region A will appear on the on-screen display.
Occasions will arise where customers wish to move from one continent to another and to play
DVDs purchased in the new regional area on his or her DV88. For such customers it is possible
to change the DV88's regional code setting and default video standard using the supplied CR-
314 remote control. The procedure is set out below.
It is important to keep this information confidential in order to comply with the terms
of the DVD CSS ( Content Scramble System ) licence.
