Disc Copy Protection
Most DVD discs have built-in MacroVision
1
encoding for copy restriction. This means that
illegal copying of a disc is prevented during playback. If you attempt to copy a protected disc,
your video screen will brighten and dim or become distorted, not allowing the disc to be
copied.
DVD discs also have a Regional Code encoded that defines the geographic area of the country
you live in. So, if you live in the U.S. or Canada, which are assigned Region Code 1, you
cannot play discs recorded for other regions.
Inspect the back of the packaging for your DVD disc to locate the Region Code number. The
Joyride™ system supports only Region Code 1.
