*Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVD VIDEOs have their own region code numbers. This product can only play back a DVD VIDEO recorded with the region code number and video format mentioned above.

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 or SVCDs, their actual operation may be dif- ferent from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of this product.

About CD-Rs/CD-RWs

You can play back a CD-R/CD-RW only when the disc is finalized.

•You can play back a CD-R/CD-RW which has been recorded in the audio CD for- mat and a CD-R/CD-RW to which audio data (MP3/WMA) or a still picture data (JPEG) file is recorded.

However, playback is impossible in some cases due to the disc characteristics, recording condition, scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt or condensation on the lens.

•Before using a CD-R/CD-RW, carefully read the cautions regarding the disc.

•This product does not support playback or CD text display of sound files such as MP3s.

•To play back a CD-RW on this product, erase all tracks if the CD-RW was recorded in a format other than the audio CD format. Using the CD-RW without erasing all tracks may result in damage to the speakers or other parts caused by sudden loud volume.
