yDepending 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.

yDepending on the recording software & the

disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or
condensation on the player’s lens.

yIf 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.)

meet certain technical standards in order to
achieve optimal playback quality.

yPre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to

these standards. There are many dierent

these require certain pre-existing conditions
to ensure compatible playback.

yCustomers should note that permission

is required in order to download MP3/

Our company has no right to grant such
permission. Permission should always be
sought from the copyright owner.

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 :
