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 player.

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.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using
straight strokes.
Don't wipe the disc surface using circular
strokes.
