Disc Compatibility & Care
Discs
Discs Suitable for Playback
TM TM
DVD Video: This unit plays DVDs recorded for a
particular region. The region mark on the back of the player must correspond to that on any DVD discs you wish to play. Units sold in North America are coded for Region 1, and are compatible with discs marked accordingly.
TM TM
DVD-R/RW: These discs can be played back when
recorded in standard DVD Video format.
TM TM
DVD-Audio: This unit will playback only the 5.1CH
sound track on DVD-Audio discs.
CD-Audio: An on-screen navigator is provided to select and play tracks when using CD-Audio discs.

ALLALL
TM TM
Discs Suitable for Recording
DVD+R
DVD+R: These discs can only be written to once.
Existing recordings can be hidden but not deleted. So, any disc space already used by a recording cannot be regained. DVD+R discs are required to be "Finalized" before they will be compatible with standard DVD Players. Once a disc is finalized, no further recordings can be made.
DVD+RW
DVD+RW: DVD+RW discs can be written to and
erased multiple times. Existing recordings can be deleted and disc space regained. These discs do not require a finalization procedure. As soon as a recording is made, the disc will be compatible with standard DVD Players.
Recordable Media Compatibility
We have heavily invested countless hours in compatibility testing to ensure we deliver a product that is compatible with most recordable media brands. However, 100-percent compatibility with all DVD+R or DVD+RW recordable media is not guaranteed. Therefore, it is recommended to try different brands and stay with one that works best.
Video CD (VCD/SVCD): On VCD/SVCD discs, advanced features such as PBC (Playback Control) are available.
JPG
CD-R/RW: This unit features an on-screen navigator for easy access to playable files stored on CD-R/RW discs, such as JPG images, Windows Media­formatted files & MP3 audio.
Caring for Optical Discs
!
Hold a disc by the rim or with an index finger in the central hole. Never touch the signal surface.
Labels
Tapes
Labeling Side
Surface
!
Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may cause signal loss.
!
Use a soft cloth and wipe in a radiating manner from the center of the disc to the outer rims when cleaning the disc surface.
!
Never add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and be careful not to scratch or damage the disc surface.
!
To prevent discs from becoming bent or deformed, they should be vertically kept in the disc storage case. To prevent damage, avoid leaving discs in your car, where they may be subject to direct sunlight and high temperature.
!
Do not use any disc accessory to improve the audio quality, disc protective solutions or lens cleaner. These products may damage the disc surface.
