•The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

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

•On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs, 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.

•Before playing back discs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
