loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically

examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appear-

ance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, dis- continue use of the appliance, and have the cord

replaced with an exact replacement part by an

authorized servicer.

Notes:

Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD_+R/RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD_+R/RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.

Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc. Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD_+R/RW) may not be playable.

DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD Recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the Recorder's

lens. If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are

cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

This recorder requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pro-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different

types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain

pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback. Customers should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 / WMA files and music from

the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Regional Code

This unit has a regional code printed on the rear of the unit. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled same as the rear of the unit or "ALL".

Notes on Regional Codes

Most DVD discs have a globe with one or more numbers in it clearly visible on the cover. This number must match your unit's regional code or the disc cannot play.

If you try to play a DVD with a different regiona! code from the unit, the message "Incorrect region code. Can't play back."

Restrictions on video recording

You cannot record copy-protected video using this recorder. Copy-protected video includes DVD-Video discs and some satellite broadcasts. If copy-protected material is encountered during a recording, recording will pause or stop automatically and an error message will be displayed on-screen.

Video that is 'copy-once only' can only be recorded using a DVD-RW disc in VR mode with CPRM (see below).

What is 'CPRM'?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of 'copy once' broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media. This Recorder is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you

cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs format- ted in VR mode and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with

CPRM

Recording equipment should be used only for lawful copying and you are advised to check carefully what is lawful copying in the area in which you are making a copy. Copying of copyright material such as films or music is unlawful unless permitted by a legal exception or consented to by the rights owner.
