FCC and Safety Information
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
Region Codes
•
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Since it is usual for DVD movies to be released at
different times in different regions of the world, all
players have region codes and disc can have an
optional region code. If you load a disc of a different
region code to your player, you will see the region
code notice on the screen. The disc will not play, and
should be unloaded. There are 6 regions (also called
“locals”). Each DVD player and disc will be played in
one region ONLY.
