The disc format logos shown above are found on disc labels or on disc jackets.

To prevent malfunction, do not use an 8 cm (3 in.) adaptor (for CDs).

Discs other than the ones indicated above cannot be played on this unit.

DVDs that have incompatible region numbers, DVD- ROM,DVD-RAM, and CD-ROM cannot be played on this unit. The region number of the player can be found on the rear panel.

*Playing DVD-RW discs (DV-S88A only)

You may not be able to play non-finalized DVD-RW discs.

Copyrighted content originally provided with the permission of one generation and recorded on DVD discs cannot be played on this player.

When playing a DVD-RW disc that was edited on a DVD recorder, you may see scenes from just before the edited point. This is not a malfunction.

Up to 20 characters of a title name can be displayed.

**Playing recordable CDs

Note that this unit cannot record onto recordable discs.

This unit can play music-use CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, depending on the condition of the CD-Recorder and the disc, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. (For example, if the disc is scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is dirty.)
