•This system can also play finalized DVD-R/-RWs recorded in DVD VIDEO format. However, some discs may not be played because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

•The following discs cannot be played back:

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:

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

About files (tracks) and folders (groups) on the disc

This system can also play MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs.

Files are sometimes grouped into folders on CD-Rs or CD-RWs by genre, album, etc.

In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder”, and “track” as “file”.

•This system recognizes up to 150 files per group, and 99 groups per disc.

The total number of files this system can detect on a disc is up to 1000.
