TOSHIBA DVD and Blu-ray players can playback many different types of discs and file types from discs and USB flash drives.

Below is a sample of the playback capabilities of TOSHIBA DVD and Blu-ray players. Your specific model may or may not be able to playback all items listed. To view the capabilities of your particular model, refer to the User's Guide located at support.toshiba.com.

IMPORTANT: Because of problems and errors that can occur during the creation of Blu-ray, DVD and CD software and/or the manufacture of Blu-ray, DVD and CD discs, Toshiba cannot assure that the Blu-ray / DVD player will successfully play every disc bearing the Blu-ray, DVD and CD logos.

Region Code

TOSHIBA DVD and Blu-ray players have been designed to play back:

  • Blu-ray™ Video with region “A” (Blu-ray players).
  • DVD-video with region “1” (DVD and Blu-ray players) or “ALL” (Blu-ray players).

You cannot play back Blu-ray™ Video or DVD-video that are labeled for other regions. Look for the symbols on your Blu-ray™ Video or DVD-video.

 

If these region symbols do not appear on your Blu-ray™ Video or DVD-video, you cannot play back the disc in this player. The letter or number inside the globe refers to region of the world. A Blu-ray™ Video or DVD-video labeled for a specific region can only be played back in the player with the same region code.
