However, some CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW discs may not work properly for any of the following reasons: incomplete disc finalization, disc burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is damaged or dirty, the disc contains only a small amount of data. Discs that contain different types of files, JPEG, MP3, WMA, DivX, and so on, are not supported. See the manual sup- plied with your disc burner for more information. Condensa- tion or dirt on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.

*3 The DVD player does not support DVD-VR discs that use CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media).

*4 Some audio CDs feature copy protection that doesn’t conform to the official CD standard. Since these are nonstandard discs, they may not play properly in the DVD player.

•The DVD player supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.

•Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those shown below, because you may damage the DVD player.

About this Manual

This manual explains how to use all of the DVD player’s functions. Although the DVD standard offers many spe- cial features, not all discs use them all, so depending on the disc being played, the DVD player may not respond to certain functions. See your disc’s sleeve notes for sup- ported features.

When you attempt to use a DVD feature that is not available, this logo may appear onscreen, indicating that the feature is not supported by the current disc or by the DVD player.
