*1: This player conforms to the PAL colour system. Also you can play discs recorded with the NTSC system via a PAL system TV set.
*2: Certain DVD-Video discs do not operate as described in this manual due to the intentions of the disc’s producers.
*3: Scratched or stained discs may not be played back.
*4: Some discs cannot be played back because of incompatible recording conditions, characteristics of the recorder or special properties of discs.

back. Even if they are played back, the sound or video quality will be compromised.
