Discs should be finalized before being played back.

1 A DVD-R recorded in multi-border format is also playable (except for dual layer discs).

2 Only when a DVD-R is compatible with CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media), DVD VR format can be used.

3 A DivX formatted DVD-ROM is also playable.

4 Among MP3/WMA/JPEG discs, only discs formatted with a combination of Universal Disc Format and ISO 9660 (known as UDF Bridge) are playable.

Some discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stains on them.

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.

Only sounds can be played back from the following discs:

MIX-MODE CD

CD-G

CD-EXTRA

CD TEXT

This system accommodates the PAL system, and also can play discs recorded with NTSC system. Note that an NTSC video signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.

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.

Examples:

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, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs, SVCDs or DivX discs, 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.

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

Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape (other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in diameter) cannot be played back.
