Regional Coding
DVD players and discs are designed
with regional restrictions which
dictate the regions in which a disc
can be played. If the region number
on the disc you want to play does not
match the region number of your DVD
player, you will not be able to play the
disc. The message “WRONG
REGION” will appear in the on-screen
display.
The region code of this player is
indicated on the rear and on the
external packaging.

when installing the batteries as
indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause
damage to the device.
• Use only the size and type of

• Do not mix different types of
batteries (e.g. Alkaline and Carbonzinc) or old batteries with new ones.
• If you will not use the remote for an
extended period of time, remove the
batteries to avoid possible damage
from battery leakage and corrosion.
