appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage
or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the
appliance, and have the cord replaced with an
exact replacement part by an authorized service
center. Protect the power cord from physical or
mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked,
pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon.
Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and
the point where the cord exits the appliance.
To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the
mains cord plug. When installing the product,

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 discs (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
standards 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 MP8 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.

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.
