DVD Video, Video CD, Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

•This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. For in-depth information about MP3, see “MP3 disc playback” on page 55, and about JPEG, see “JPEG disc playback” on page 57.

•The following discs cannot be played back:

–DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc. Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

–8 cm disc

An 8 cm disc cannot be played back in this system. (Do not attempt to insert an 8 cm disc using an adaptor. Doing so will damage the system.)

•On some DVD, Video CD, or SVCD discs, 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 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.”

–The system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD format.

The system can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs 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-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 for regular CDs.

*Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can play back only DVDs recorded with the color system of PAL whose Region Code numbers include “2.”

Examples:	2	2 5	2	3
			4	5

If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR” appears on the display 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 DVD playback, you can change the initial setting to your preference. (See pages 59 to 69.)

If appears on the TV screen when pressing a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or information required for that operation is not recorded on the disc.

NOTICE: In some cases, without showing , operations will not be accepted.
