INFORMATION ON PLAYBACK
On-Screen Display

Color Systems
BD-video and DVD-video are recorded in different color
systems throughout the world. The most common color
system is NTSC (which is used primarily in the United
States and Canada).
This unit employs NTSC color system, so the disc you play
back must be recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot
play back the disc recorded in other color systems.

Region Codes
BD-video
This unit has been designed to play back
BD-video with region A and DVD-video with
region “1” or “ALL“. You cannot play back
BD-video or DVD-video that are labeled for
other regions. Look for the symbols on the
right on your BD-video or DVD-video.
DVD-video
If these region symbols do not appear on
your BD-video or DVD-video, you cannot
play back the disc in this unit. The letter or
number inside the globe refers to region of
the world. A BD-video or DVD-video labeled
for a specific region can only be played back
in the unit with the same region code.
