Get the most from your INU-OH Blu-ray + DVD combo. Learn which disc to play first, how to check your setup, and what to expect from each format.

Quick answer

Play the Blu-ray first for the best picture and sound, then use the DVD as a backup for players that can't handle Blu-ray. Check your player and region before you start.

Why the combo pack gives you options

The INU-OH Blu-ray + DVD combo includes both formats, so you can watch in the living room on a Blu-ray player and still have a disc for a laptop or older DVD player. The Blu-ray typically offers higher resolution and better audio, while the DVD is more universally playable.

If you're unsure which disc to use, start with the Blu-ray. If your player doesn't support Blu-ray, the DVD will work in standard DVD players.

Check your player and region before you start

Blu-ray players and DVDs are region-coded. Most Blu-ray discs from GKIDS are Region A (North America), and DVDs are Region 1. Check your player's region before inserting the disc to avoid playback issues.

If you have a region-free player, you can play discs from any region. Otherwise, confirm your player matches the disc's region.

Steps to get the most from your INU-OH combo

Check your player's region: Look up your Blu-ray or DVD player's region code. Most North American players are Region A for Blu-ray and Region 1 for DVD. If your player is from another region, you may need a region-free player. Mismatched regions are the most common reason a disc won't play.
Start with the Blu-ray disc: Insert the Blu-ray into a Blu-ray player for the best picture and sound. Use the main menu to select play, and explore any bonus features if available. If the Blu-ray doesn't play, try the DVD before assuming the disc is faulty.
Use the DVD as a backup: If you're watching on a computer or a standard DVD player, use the DVD disc. It offers lower resolution but wider compatibility. Keep the DVD in its case when not in use to avoid scratches.
Handle discs carefully: Hold discs by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store them in their cases after viewing. Proper handling extends the life of both discs.
