Notes on Copyrights
Because AACS (Advanced Access Content
System) is approved as content protection system for BD and HD DVD 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 system 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 LG Customer Service
Centre.
Many HD DVD/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.
This product incorporates copyright protection

quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same
familiar size and look as DVD.

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.
