Compatible  Discs 

Note: Not all discs are supported by this system.  You may find a disc 

that will not play on this system, but works fine on other players.  Vari

-

ous manufacturers of discs change technology from time to time which 

may create compatibility issues.  This is not a probelm with the unit and 

is not covered by warranty.

Most DVD/CD-Audio discs are compatible with the AV7950H system.
The unit can also play 

most 

CD-Recordable discs containing CD-Au-

dio, MP3 files, and JPEG images - but not all such discs. 

Since these 

discs are usually made on home computers, there is no certifica

-

tion process ensuring that all such discs play on all players.

DVD Regions

When a DVD disc is created, it is encoded with a “Region number.” 

The disc will only play on DVD players with the same Region number 

- for instance, a Region 3 disc won’t play on a Region 1 player. 

Region 1: U.S. and U.S. Territories, Canada
Region 2: Japan, Western Europe, Middle East, South Africa
Region 3: South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast and East Asia

Region 4: New Zealand, Australia, Pacific Islands, Mexico, Central/ 

South America

Region 5: Russia and the former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian 
 

subcontinent, North Korea

Region 6: China

Incompatible Discs

The following disc types are incompatible with the system:
·  DVD-ROM/DVD-RAM/DVD+RAM discs.
·  Most DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW discs.
·  Some Photo CDs.
·  CD-ROM data discs.
·  CD-Audio discs made with certain copy protection methods.
·  Any DVD with a different Region number than the unit.
·  Any disc that does not meet DVD Forum standards.

Why the system doesn’t respond the same way to all discs

When a DVD disc is created, the creator has to define how the disc 

will operate when loaded into a DVD player. For instance, some discs 

begin playing immediately, while other discs only display a menu and 

require a menu selection to be made before playback will start. 

The DVD standard also allows the maker of a DVD disc to disable  

functions at certain times, such as Fast-Forward and Stop (which is 

why you can’t skip past the copyright warning screen). If some DVD 

feature temporarily isn’t working for you, usually the disc is preventing 

the player from performing that function.

Discs that don’t properly load and play

Some CD and DVD discs, especially homemade discs which do not 

have all the data needed to properly initialize all DVD players, may not 

load and play properly. They may even create a state where the DVD 

player will not eject the disc at all. In these cases, the unit must be 

turned off.
