Blu-ray Disc Compatibility
Blu-ray Disc is a new and evolving format. Accordingly, disc
compatibility issues are possible. Not all discs are compatible
and not every disc will play back. For additional information,
refer to the Compliance and Compatibility Notice section of
this Manual. If you encounter compatibility problems, please
contact the SAMSUNG customer care center. This Samsung
Blu-ray disc player (BD-P1200) supports only the BD-ROM
Profile 1 version 1.0 specification. If you want to play later
version discs, you may need to update player's firmware.

SAMSUNG customer care center at 1-800 SAMSUNG.
