Region code of DVD VIDEO

DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.

Example of playable DVD:

ALL

1

1 2

1

2

3

4

 

 

 

If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and playback cannot start.

•The following discs cannot be played back:

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, SACD, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

•On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their actual operation may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of this system.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

•User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized”.

•This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD format. This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA, JPEG or MPEG4 files are recorded on them.

However, some discs 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, WMA, JPEG or MPEG4 disc are 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 or WMA disc may be skipped or may not be played back normally.

•Some files on a JPEG or MPEG4 disc may be played back distortedly.

•Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

•CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
