Apart from declaring it in the manual there is a sticker on the case.
There does not appear (from the manual) for the need to adjust or
reset anything. No, the other dvd was a rebranded machine, but both
the remote control and the box are clearly made from the same essentials.

What puzzled me was the difficulty playing the lens cleaner disc.
Could it be that rough treatment has slightly offset the works?
(there has been a 3 yr old feeding her dvds into it, apparently
with no problems) Maybe a piece of chocolate is in there.
