Copy Protection

Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your DVD player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected DVD discs.

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by methods claims of certain

 

U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights

 

owners. Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and

you may not be able to fully play the disc.

 

CD-R MP3 Discs

Only CD-R discs with MP3 files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.

MP3 file names should be 8 characters or less in length and contain no blank spaces or special characters (. / = +).

If the name of a file is in Korean, the name will be displayed on the TV screen in Korean and * will be shown in the display of the main unit.

Only files with the ".mp3" and ".MP3" extensions can be played.

Only a consecutively written Multi session disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the Multi session disc, the disc can be played only up to the blank segment.

If more than 500 tracks are recorded on a single CD, a maximum of 500 tracks can be played.

If more than 300 folders are recorded on a single CD, a maximum of 300 folders can be played.

What is MP3?
