Copy Protection

•Because AACS (Advanced Access Content System) is approved as content protection system for Blu-ray Disc format, similar to use of CSS (Content Scramble System) for DVD format, certain restrictions are imposed on playback, analog signal output, etc., of AACS protected contents.

The operation of this product and restrictions on this product may vary depending on your time of purchase as those restrictions may be adopted and/or changed by AACS after the production of this product. Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are additionally used as content protection system for Blu-ray Disc format, which imposes certain restrictions including playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark, BD+, or this product, please contact SAMSUNG customer care center.

•Many Blu-ray Disc/DVDs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your Player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy- protected Blu-ray Disc/DVDs.

•Under the U.S. Copyright laws and Copyright laws of other countries, unauthorized recording, use, display, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, Blu-ray Discs, DVDs, and other materials may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.
