*1 Discs should be finalized before being played
back.
*2 For files recorded on a DVD-R/DVD-RW, the
disc should be formatted with UDF Bridge.
*3 This system may not recognize some USB
mass storage class devices. This system can-
not play back a file whose data volume is more
than 2 gigabytes and a file whose data transfer
rate is more than 2 Mbps.
It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD
Video Format only) discs. “DVD” lights on the front
display panel when a +R/+RW disc is loaded.
Some discs may not be played back because of
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or
damage or stains on them.
Only sounds can be played back from the following
discs:
MIX-MODE CD CD-G
CD-EXTRA CD TEXT
This system accommodates the NTSC and PAL
systems.
Region code of DVD VIDEO
DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have
their own Region Code numbers. This system can
play back a DVD VIDEO whose Region Code
number includes the system’s Region Code, which
is indicated on the rear panel.
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper region code
number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!”
appears on the TV screen and playback cannot
start.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, VCDs, SVCDs or DivX
files, their actual operation may be different
from what is explained in this manual. This is
due to the disc/file programming and disc/file
structure, not a malfunction of this system.
