Region Number of DVD Video discs:
DVD players and discs are designed with region numbers that
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.
In that case, an error message will appear on the screen.
The region number is printed on the rear panel of this unit.
