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 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 BD-R or USB device at a bit rate that exceeds 25 Mbps.

Playback may not work for some types of discs, or when you use specific functions, 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.

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