Check for region number compatibility

For any DVD player and DVD disc to be compatible, their region numbers must match.
These numbers are assigned according to where the player and disc are sold.
Check the region number on the bottom of the media center included with your
system. Then be sure to choose only DVD discs that show the same region
number on the disc label or packaging. For example, a Region 1 DVD and
corresponding player should display the mark shown on the right.

ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.
