• Photo CD, DVD-Audio, SACD, DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, DVD-R, S-VCD/CVD,
or any other disc with marks other than those displayed above
• Discs with unusual shapes (for example, heart-shaped or hexagonal)

intended for use in the U.S.A. (region 1) or China (region 6)
In addition to the above, when a disc is scratched, soiled, or marked with

disrupted, the Player automatically restores the correct image after 2 or 3
seconds.
