Notes on Copyrights
Because AACS (Advanced Access Content System) is approved as content
protection system for BD format, similar to use of CSS (Content Scramble System) for DVD format, certain restrictions are imposed on playback, analog signal output, etc., of AACS protected contents. The operation of this product and restrictions on this product may vary depending on your time of purchase as those restrictions may be adopted and/or changed by AACS after the pro­duction of this product. Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are additionally used as content pro­tection systems for BD format, which imposes certain restrictions including playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark, BD+, or this product, please contact an authorized Customer Service Centre.
Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of
this, you should only connect your player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected discs.

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 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 player’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 player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical stan-
dards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-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 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.

BD-ROM Disc Features
BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD. BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080) - Large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD.
• The following BD-ROM disc features are disc dependent and will vary.
• Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc.
• Not all discs will have the features described below.
• BD-ROM, Hybrid disc have both BD-ROM and DVD (or CD) layers on one side. On such discs, BD-ROM layer will be only played back in this player.
Video highlights

• 1920 x 1080 HD
• 1280 x 720 HD
Graphic planes
Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphic planes (layers) are available, on top of the HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video­related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is assigned to interactive graphic elements, such as buttons or menus. For both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available.
For High-Definition Playback
To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs, an HDTV is required. Some discs may require HDMI OUT for viewing of high-definition contents. Ability to view high-definition contents in BD-ROM discs may be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.
Menu sounds

Multi-page/PopUp Menus
With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen is accessed. Due to BD-ROM disc’s ability to preload data from the disc with­out interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several pages. You can browse through the menu pages or select different menu paths, while the audio and video remain playing in the background.
Interactivity
Certain BD-ROM Discs may contain animated menus and/or trivia games.
User Browsable Slideshows
With BD-ROM Discs, you can browse through various still pictures while the audio remains playing.

mum 7.1 channels if you use HDMI connection for the audio output of the unit.

Certain System Requirements
For high definition video playback:
• High definition display that has HDMI input jacks.
• BD-ROM disc with high definition content.
• HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input on your display device is required for some content (as specified by disc authors).
• For up-conversion of standard definition DVD, a HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input on your display device is required for copy protected content.

• Main, center, surround speakers and subwoofer as necessary for chosen format.
Important Notice for TV colour system
The colour system of this player differs according to currently playing discs. For example, when the player plays back the disc recorded in the NTSC colour system, the image is outputted as a NTSC signal. Only the multi system colour TV can receive all signals outputted from the player.
Notes:
• If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see just distorted images when using discs recorded in NTSC.
• The multi system colour TV changes the colour system automatically according to input signals. In case that the colour system is not changed automatically, turn it off and then on to see normal images on screen.
• If you try to record a NTSC output signal from the player with your recorder, the recorder may not record the signal correctly.
