Example of playable DVD:
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
"REGION CODE ERROR!" appears on the TV screen and
playback cannot start.
Some discs may not be played back because of their disc char-
acteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.
Unplayable discs

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
