Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, 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 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, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

Important Notice for TV colour system

The colour system of this player differs according to currently playing discs.

For example, when the player plays the disc recorded in the NTSC colour system, the image is output as an NTSC signal.

Only the multi system colour TV can receive all signals output from the player.

yy If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see just distorted images when using discs or video contents recorded in NTSC.

yy 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.

yy Even if the disc recorded in NTSC colour system are well displayed on your TV, these may not be recorded correctly on your recorder.

,,Note

yy 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.

yy Depending on the recording software & the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW, DVD±R/RW, BD-R/RE) may not be playable.

yy BD-R/RE, 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.

yy 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.)

yy This player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality.

yy 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.

yy 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.

yy You have to set the disc format option to [Mastered] in order to make the discs compatible with the LG players when formatting rewritable discs. When setting

the option to Live System, you cannot use it on LG player. (Mastered/Live File System : Disc format system for windows Vista)

About the “7” Symbol Display

“7” may appear on your TV display during operation and indicates that the function explained in this owner’s manual is not available on that specific media.

Compatibility Notes

yy Because BD-ROM is a new format, certain disc, digital connection and other compatibility issues are possible. If you experience compatibility problems, please contact an authorized Customer Service Center.

yy This unit allows you to enjoy functions such as picture-in-picture, secondary audio and

Virtual packages, etc., with BD-ROM supporting BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 1 version 1.1). Secondary video and audio can be played from a disc compatible with the picture-in- picture function. For the playback method, refer to the instructions in the disc.

yy Viewing high-definition content and upconverting standard DVD content may require a HDMI-capable input or HDCP-capable DVI input on your display device.

yy Some BD-ROM and DVD discs may restrict the use of some operation commands or features.

yy You can use a USB device to store some disc related information, including downloaded online content. The disc you are using will control how long this information is retained.
