video CDs.
Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be
playable on the system.
Region code of the DVD player and DVDs
This system is designed and manufactured for playback of
region "1" encoded DVD software. The region code on the
labels of some DVDs indicates which type of player can
play those discs. This system can play only DVDs labeled
"1" or "ALL". If you try to play any other discs, the message
"REGIONAL CODE VIOLATION" will appear on the TV
screen. Some DVDs may not have a region code label even
though their playback is prohibited by area limits.
