Regional Coding
The DVD player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in
order for the disc to play.
This unit's code is Region 1. Discs with other regional codes can't be played in this unit.
Using Different Menus
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are two separate menu systems
that you can use to access DVD features: the disc's menu and the DVD player's menu
(separate from the TV's menu system). Remember that a feature only works if the disc was
programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose subtitles, the subtitles only appear
if the disc was created with subtitles. The DVD menu system is explained on page 16.
The Disc menu- The disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD
player's menu system. The contents of each disc's menu vary according to how the disc
was created and what features are included. Sometimes a disc's menu appears
automatically when you insert the disc, or you can access it by pressing the MENU button.
