∫Concerning logo marks

Dolby Digital (l 42)

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Not only stereo (2 channel) audio, these signals can also be multi- channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc by this method.

DTS Digital Surround (l 42)

This surround system is used in many movie theatres around the world. The separation between channels is good and the compression ratio is low, so realistic sound effects are possible.

The manufacturer accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for loss of recorded or edited material due to a problem with the unit or recordable media, and accepts no responsibility and offers no compensation for any subsequent damage caused by such loss.

Examples of causes of such losses are

≥A disc recorded and edited with this unit is played in a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company. ≥A disc used as described above and then played again in this unit.

≥A disc recorded and edited with a DVD Recorder or computer disc drive manufactured by another company is played in this unit.
