`` Some commercial discs and DVDs purchased outside your region may not play on this product.

`` Playback may not work for some types of discs, or when you use specific operations, such as angle change and aspect ratio adjustment. Information about the discs is written in detail on the disc box. Please refer to this if necessary.

`` Do not allow the disc to become dirty or scratched. Fingerprints, dirt, dust, scratches or deposits of cigarette smoke on the recording surface may make it impossible to use the disc for playback.

`` When you play a BD-J title, loading may take longer than a normal title or some functions may perform slowly.

`` This product may not respond to all operating commands because some Blu-ray Disc, DVD, and CD discs allow specific or limited operation and provide only certain features during playback. Please note that this is not a defect in the product.

`` Samsung cannot guarantee that this product will play every disc bearing the Blu-ray Disc, DVD or CD logo because disc formats evolve, and problems and errors may occur during the creation of Blu-ray Disc, DVD, and CD software and/or the manufacture of discs.

Please contact the SAMSUNG customer care centre if you have questions or encounter difficulty when playing Blu-ray Disc, DVD, or CD discs in this product. Also, refer to rest of this user manual for additional information on playback restrictions.
