About region numbers
All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark (number) on
the case. The mark (number) denotes the region(s) of
the world in which the disc is compatible. Your DVD
player also has a region mark (number), which you can
find on the rear panel.
If you try to play a disc of an incompatible region,
“Incompatible disc region number Can’t play disc”
will be displayed on the screen and you will not be able
to play the disc. Discs marked “ALL” can be played
in any player.
The diagram below shows the various DVD regions
of the world.
