About Discs

The following BD-RE/R, DVD-RW/R and DVD+RW/R discs cannot be played.

Discs on which data has not been recorded cannot be played back.

Sharp cannot guarantee playback compatibility for all self-recorded BD-discs because Blu-ray is a new and evolving format. The playback compatibility will be affected by your choice of BD-recorder, BD-disc and BD-burning software. Please always ensure you are using the latest software versions on all units and contact the individual manufacturers for further help if required.

To avoid inconveniences, please check the playback compatibility of your self-recorded disc before you purchase this BD-player. For maximum playback compatibility of self-recorded BD-discs Sharp recommends that the BDMV/BDAV standards are used. If a playback issue occurs after purchase, please download the latest software version for your BD-player from the Sharp internet page www.sharp.co.uk/page/downloaddrivermanuals (select Drivers then Software Downloads), or ask your Sharp-Dealer.

This BD-player uses the latest technology available at the time of development and cannot guarantee support for future enhancements or changes to the standard.

You may experience one or more of the following symptoms when playing files.

It may take some time to play files depending on the number of folders, number of files and volume of data involved.
