Notes about BD-REs/BD-Rs, DVD+RWs/
DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/
CD-RWs
Some BD-REs/BD-Rs, DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs,
DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot
be played on this player due to the recording
quality or physical condition of the disc, or the
characteristics of the recording device and
authoring software. The BD-Rs recorded on a PC
cannot be played if postscripts are recordable.
A CD or DVD disc will not play if it has not been
correctly finalised. For more information, refer to
the instruction manual supplied with the
recording device. Note that some playback
functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/
DVD+Rs, even if they have been correctly
finalised. In this case, view the disc using normal
playback.
