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

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.

y

Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are

additionally used as content protection systems

for Blu-ray Disc 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.

y

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

picture from copy-protected discs.

y

This product incorporates copyright protection

technology that is protected by U.S. patents

and other intellectual property rights. Use of

this copyright protection technology must be
