Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on 
this product may not be recommended.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their actual 
operation may be different from what is explained in

Region code of DVD VIDEO
DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their 
own Region Code numbers. This system can play back 
DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include 
the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on the rear 
panel.
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 
characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on 
them.
