•The producer of the disc can control how discs are played. So you may not always be able to control play as described in these operating instructions. Read the disc’s instructions carefully.

Regarding DVD-Audio

Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (➔ page 40) of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention. When playing such discs, or such parts of disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio will not be output properly (e.g. part of the audio is missing, multi-channel audio cannot be selected and audio is played in two channels). Refer to the disc’s jacket for more information.
