Because AACS (Advanced Access Content System)
is approved as content protection system for BD
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 BD
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 BD/DVD discs are encoded with copy
protection. Because of this, you should only connect
your Blu-ray disc player directly to your TV, not to a
VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted
picture from copy-protected BD/DVD discs.
