In addition, this unit plays DVD±R/RW and CD-R/RW,
Dual disc, USB that contains audio titles, DivX, MP3,
WMA, and/or JPEG files.

This indicates a product feature that is
capable of playing DVD-RW discs
recorded with Video Recording format.

Notes:

• Depending on the conditions of the recording

equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) disc
itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs 
may not be played on the unit.

• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-

shaped or octagonal) since they may result in
malfunctions.

• This DVD player requires discs and recordings to

meet certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are
automatically set to these standards. There are
many different types of recordable disc formats
(including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and
these require certain pre-existing conditions (see
above) to ensure compatible playback.

Customers should note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 / WMA files
and music from the Internet. Our company has
no right to grant such permission. Permission
should always be sought from the copyright
owner.

Regional Code 

This unit has a regional code printed on the rear of the
unit. This unit can play only DVD discs labelled as the
same as the rear of the unit or “ALL”.

Notes on Regional Codes

• Most DVD discs have a globe with one or more

numbers in it clearly visible on the cover. This
number must match your unit’s regional code or the
disc cannot play. 

• If you try to play a DVD with a different regional

code from your player, the message “Check
Regional Code” appears on the TV screen.
