Hi John Thanks for your response--This disc was issued by Geneon--(I
believe it was issued in Japan). I looked on the disc--it does have
the following written along the edge of the DVD: "SPECIAL FEATURES:
REGION US NOT RATED--NO COPYING SUBJECT TO APPC LABLE LAWS". Also on
the disc is the Region 2 NTSC symbol. But no specific mention of Region
1--just US region.--r3
