Notes on Discs
• With some DVD VIDEO discs, the RDV-1045
starts playback automatically after inserting
the disc.
• The image may be sometimes poor or noisy
due to defects in the disc itself.
• With some discs, operations described in
this manual may not be possible.
Other Notes About Recordable Discs
• Some discs may not be played back because
of their disc characteristics, recording condi-
tions, or damage or stains on them.
• It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW
(DVD Video Format only) discs. “DVD” lights
on the front display panel when a +R/+RW
disc is loaded.
• Only sounds can be played back from the
following discs: MIX-MODE CD, CD-G
CD-EXTRA and CD TEXT
• The RDV-1045 can play NTSC and PAL system
discs. If an NTSC disc is played when the
Video Signal Type is set to PAL, the NTSC
visdeo signal is converted to a PAL60 signal
and output.
NOTE: If a disc is dirty, scratched or
warped, or has unusual disc or recording
characteristics, it may take considerable time
for the RDV-1045 to read the disc contents.
In some instances the RDV-1045 may not be
able to play certain discs.
When playing some DVD VIDEOs, DVD
AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs the operation of
the RDV-1045 may be different from what is
described in this manual. This is due to the
disc programming and disc structure, not a
malfunction of this system.
Other Notes About Playable Discs:
Because the RDV-1045 can play such a va-
riety of disc formats, and because many disc
formats can be recorded to a variey of stan-
dards, there are many things can affect how
certain discs will work. See the “Additional
Notes About Playable Discs” section of this
manual for more information.
