Disc Handling Precautions

 

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. do not touch the surface.

 

• do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar substance) on 

the disc, remove the substance completely before using the disc.

 

• do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or 

leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight, as there can be a considerable rise in 

temperature inside the car.

 

• After playing, store the disc in its case.

 

• do not write on the label side with a ballpoint pen or other sharp writing utensils.

 

• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.

Disc Cleaning Precautions

 

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center 

out.

 

• do not use solvents such as benzene, paint thinner, commercially available 

cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl lPs.

Regional Coding

BdT 3 players are designed only for playback of discs with Blu-Ray disc Region code 

A and dvd Region code 1 information, or for discs that do not contain any Region code 

information. BdT 30 players are designed only for playback of discs with Blu-ray disc 

Region code B and dvd Region code 2 information, or for discs that do not contain

If there is a Region code on a disc other than the one your BdT player is designed for, it

Copyright

Audio-visual material may consist of copyrighted works, which must not be recorded 

without the permission of the owner of the copyright. Please refer to relevant laws 

covering copyright protection.

Copy Protection

your BdT player is in compliance with hdcP (high-definition copy Protection). A video 

display connected via the hdMI Output connector must be hdcP-compliant. 
The BdT player incorporates copy-protection technology. On Blu-ray disc media and dvd 

discs that include a copy-protection code, if the contents of the disc are copied using a 

vcR, the copy-protection code prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.

Supported Disc Formats

The BdT player can play the following types of discs (in 5

"

/12cm and 3

"

/8cm size): 

 

• Bd-video (single-layer or double-layer)

 

• dvd-video

 

• dvd+R/+RW

 

• dvd-R/-RW

 

• cddA (cd digital audio)

 

• cd-R/RW

NOTe: The compatibility and performance of dual-layer discs is not guaranteed.

• divX 3.x/4.x/5.x (from cd-R/RW, dvd+R/+RW and usB)

NOTe: due to differences in the formats of certain discs, it is possible that some 

discs may include a mix of features, some of which are not compatible with the  

BdT 3/BdT 30. similarly, although Blu-ray disc recordings and dvds are capable of a 

wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of its system. for example, 

although the player is compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature operates only when 

the disc is specially encoded for multiple-angle play. To make certain that a specific 

feature or soundtrack option is available, please check the options noted on the disc 

jacket.
Playback capability of recordable discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the 

disc and the recorder used to create the disc.
