•You can play back DVD-R or DVD-RW recorded with the DVD VIDEO format, but some may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording conditions.

About Region Code

If a DVD VIDEO with the wrong Region Code number is loaded, “REGION ERR” appears on the display and playback cannot start.

English

On CD-R and CD-RW

•User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW (ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”

•The unit can play back CD-R or CD-RW recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the CD format or in ISO 9660 format.

•Before playing back CD-R or CD-RW, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

•CD-RW may require a longer readout time. It is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RW is lower than for regular CD.

•The unit can also play back CD-R or CD-RW 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 or JPEG disc are skipped and may not be played back normally.

–Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
