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

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.
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.
