Some DVD video discs are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited operation during playback. As such, the DVD/VCR may not respond to all operating commands. This is not a defect in the DVD/ VCR. Refer to instruction notes of discs. The following symbol may appear on the TV screen during operation. It means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD/ VCR or the disc. For example, sometimes it is unable to stop the playback of copyright message of the disc when the STOP ( ) button is pressed. Alternatively, this symbol may also indicate that the feature is not available for the disc. Notes on region numbers The region number of this DVD/VCR is 1. If region numbers, which stand for their playable area, are printed on your DVD video disc and you do not find 1 or ALL , disc playback will not be allowed by the player.
