The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark,
• DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region Code numbers. The unit can playback only DVD
VIDEO discs whose Region code numbers include the unit's Region code, which is indicated on the region code

CD*RW
• Playing back discs listed as "Non*playable discs" in the table above may generate noise and damage speakers.
• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles," while an Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD is comprised of "tracks." Each title
may be divided into some "chapters." For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may
have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO karaoke disc, each
song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content,
while each chapter in the same title has continuity.
