Notes:

Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some
CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.

Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW)
may not be playable.

DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD Recorder
may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the Recorder’s lens.

If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are
cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc.
(Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

This recorder requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different
types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain
pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

Customers should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 / WMA files and music from
the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought
from the copyright owner.

Regional Code 

This unit has a regional code printed on the rear of the unit. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled same as
the rear of the unit or “ALL”.

Notes on Regional Codes

Most DVD discs have a globe with one or more numbers in it clearly visible on the cover. This number
must match your unit’s regional code or the disc cannot play. 

If you try to play a DVD with a different regional code from the unit, the message “Incorrect region code.
Can’t play back” appears on the TV screen.
