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 centre.
Playback may not work for some types of discs, or when specific operations, such as angle change and aspect
ratio adjustment, are being performed. Information about the discs is written in detail on the disc box. Please refer
to this if necessary.
Do not allow the disc to become dirty or scratched. Fingerprints, dirt, dust, scratches or deposits of cigarette
smoke on the recording surface may make it impossible to use the disc for playback.
When a BD-J title is played, loading may take longer than a normal title, or some functions may perform slowly.
