Region Codes
®

This unit has been designed to play back BD with
region A and DVD-video with region 1. You cannot
play back BD or DVD-video that are labeled for other
regions. Look for the symbols on the right on your BD
or DVD-video. If these region symbols do not appear
on your BD or DVD-video, you cannot play back the

globe refers to region of the world. A BD or
DVD-video labeled for a specific region can only play
back on the unit with the same region code.
