Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVD VIDEO have their own Region Code
numbers. This unit can play back only DVD VIDEO recorded
with the color system of NTSC/PAL whose Region Code
numbers include “4.”
Ex.:
If a DVD VIDEO with the wrong Region Code numbers is
loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV and
playback cannot start.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW (ReWritable)
can be played back only if they are already “
finalized.
”
• The unit can play back CD-R or CD-RW recorded on a
personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio
CD format or in MP3 format.
The unit can also play back CD-R or CD-RW if MP3 files or
JPEG files are recorded on them.
However, they may not be played back because of their
disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or
stain on them. Especially, the configuration and
characteristics of an MP3 disc or a JPEG disc is
determined by the writing (encoding) software and
hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software
and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur:
– Some discs may not be played back.
– Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not
be played back normally.
– Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back
distortedly.
• Before playing back CD-R or CD-RW, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
• CD-RW may require a longer readout time. It is caused by
the fact that the reflectance of CD-RW is lower than for
regular audio CD.
IMPORTANT:
Before playing a disc, make sure of the
following...
• Check the connection with the TV.
• Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the
TV to view the pictures or on-screen indications on the
TV screen.
• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to
your preference. (See pages 53 to 61.)
If “
” appears on the TV screen when you press a
button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have
tried to do, or data required for that operation is not
recorded on the disc.
NOTICE:
In some cases, without showing “
,” operations
will not be accepted.
To change the color system of this unit, see page 8.
