Personal computer-created disc
compatibility
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is
recorded in a “compatible format” as listed above, there
will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this
machine due to the setting of the application software
used to create the disc. In these particular instances, check
with the software publisher for more detailed information.
Due to the unique construction of DVD-R/RW and CD-R/
RW discs, leaving them for extended periods of time in
the pause/still mode at a single place on the disc, or dis-
playing a single menu page may result in the discs’ be-
coming difficult to play at that location on the disc. When
playing discs containing important data, users are recom-
mended to construct backup archive discs.
DVD-Video regions
All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case some-
where that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is
compatible with. Your DVD player also has a region mark,
which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompat-
ible regions will not play in this player. Discs marked ALL will
play in any player.
