•On some DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, VCD, or SVCD, their actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, but not a malfunction of this unit.

•You can play back DVD-R recorded with the DVD VIDEO format, but some may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording conditions.

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 PAL whose Region Code numbers include “2.”

Ex. :

If a DVD VIDEO with the wrong Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV and playback cannot start.

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 62.)

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.

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.

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.
