    Hi everyone.

    Does anybody know what ca, us and cl stand for and what the difference is between them ? (For example: dvXXXXca vs dvXXXXcl) I've always assumed they are country codes, but then why sell cl models in Canada and the US ? :confused:

    Thanks !

    Apart from country and region specific codes, they also have codes for models which are sold exclusively through certain stores. For example some models are only sold in Walmart and they get the naming scheme as dvXXXXwm. Some which are sold through Best buy get the designation as 'nr'. 'cl' I believe is sold By Sams Club/Costco, so yeah it can be sold across countries as well.
