✎NOTE

▪▪ The player may not play certain CD-RW/-R and DVD-R because of the disc type or recording conditions. ▪▪ If a DVD-RW/-R disc has not been recorded properly in DVD video format, it will not be playable.

▪▪ Your player will not play content that has been recorded on a DVD-R at a bit-rate that exceeds 10 Mbps.

▪▪ Your player will not play content that has been recorded on a BD-R or USB device at a bit rate that exceeds 25 Mbps.

✎NOTE

▪▪ Some commercial discs and DVDs discs purchased outside your region may not play on this player.

▪▪ 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 player 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 player.

▪▪ Samsung cannot guarantee that this player 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 player. Also, refer to rest of this user manual for additional information on playback restrictions.
