DVD/Blu-ray™/BD Region Codes
The DVD player/Blu-ray™ Player and many DVD/
Blu-ray™ Discs are coded by geographic region. These
region codes must match in order for the disc to play. If
the region code for the DVD/Blu-ray™ Disc does not
match the region code for the player, the disc will stop
playing and a warning will be displayed. DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the DVD player,
the DVD-Audio title on the disc is played by default
(most DVD-Audio discs also have a Video title, but the
Video title is ignored). All multi - channel program
material is automatically mixed down to two channels,
which may result in a lowered apparent volume level. If
you increase the volume level to account for this change
in level, remember to lower the volume before changing
the disc or to another mode.
Recorded Discs
The DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a
CD-ROM containing MP3, WMA or AAC (Blu-ray™ Disc
Player only) files. The player will also play DVD-Video
content recorded to a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. DVD-
ROM discs (either pressed or recorded) are not sup-
ported.
