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.
