Regional Code
This unit has a regional code printed on the rear of
the unit. This unit can play only BD-ROM or DVD
discs labeled same as the rear of the unit or “ALL”.
Notes:
Depending on the conditions of the recording
equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) disc
itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs can-
not be played on the unit.
Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the
labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.
Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-
shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in
malfunctions.
Depending on the recording software & the final-
ization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or
DVD±R/RW) may not be playable.
DVD±R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using
a personal computer or a DVD or CD Recorder
may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if
there is dirt or condensation on the player’s lens.
If you record a disc using a personal computer,
even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there
are cases in which it may not play because of the
settings of the application software used to create
the disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)
This player requires discs and recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are
automatically set to these standards. There are
many different types of recordable disc formats
(including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files)
and these require certain pre-existing conditions
to ensure compatible playback.
Customers should note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 / WMA files
and music from the Internet. Our company has no
right to grant such permission. Permission should
always be sought from the copyright owner.
