regional code. If the code number on the label of a DVD does not match that on the label
alongside, the DVD will not play on this appliance.
If a disc contains mixed content (e.g. MP3 and video files), the appliance will only recognise,
list and play one content type.
Normally, if an MP3 disc is loaded, the unit will take longer time to read the initial data.

Due to the great variety of products with USB ports and their sometimes quite
manufacturer-specific functions we can neither guarantee that all devices will be
