NOTE

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.

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

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.

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 di erent
types of recordable disc formats (including
CD-R containing MP3 or WMA  les) and these
require certain pre-existing conditions to ensure
compatible playback.

Customers should note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 / WMA  les
and music from the Internet. Our company has
no right to grant such permission. Permission
should always be sought from the copyright
owner.

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)

or DVD discs labeled same as the rear of the
unit or “ALL”.

AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec
High Defi nition)

This player can playback AVCHD format

•
discs. These discs are normally recorded and
used in camcorders.

The AVCHD format is a high de nition

•
digital video camera format.

The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable

•
of compressing images at higher e ciency
than that of the conventional image
compressing format.

Some AVCHD discs use the “x.v.Color”

•
format.

This player can playback AVCHD discs using

•
“x.v.Color” format.

Some AVCHD format discs may not play,

•
depending on the recording condition.

AVCHD format discs need to be  nalized.

•
“x.v.Color” o ers a wider color range than

•
normal DVD camcorder discs.

Certain System Requirements

For high de nition video playback:

•

High de nition display that has
COMPONENT or HDMI input jacks.

•

BD-ROM disc with high de nition content.

•

HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input on your
display device is required for some content
(as speci ed by disc authors).

•

For up-conversion of standard de nition
DVD, a HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input
on your display device is required for copy
protected content.

Compatibility Notes

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.

Viewing high-de nition content and up-

•
converting standard DVD content may
require a HDMI-capable input or HDCP­capable DVI input on your display device.

Some BD-ROM and DVD discs may restrict

•
the use of some operation commands or
features.

You can use a USB device that is used

•
to store some disc related information,
including downloaded on-line content. The
disc you are using will control how long this
information is retained.

Positioning the system

The following illustration shows an example
of positioning the system. Note that the
illustrations in these instructions di er from the
actual unit for explanation purposes.
For the best possible surround sound, all the
speakers other than the subwoofer should be
placed at the same distance from the listening
position (

).

Front left speaker (L)/
Front right speaker (R):

Place the front speakers to the sides of the
monitor or screen and as  ush with the screen
surface as possible.

Center speaker:

Place the center speaker above or below the
monitor or screen.

Surround left speaker (L)/
Surround right speaker (R):

Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards.

Subwoofer:

The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical, because low bass sounds are not
highly directional. But it is better to place
the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn
it slightly toward the center of the room to
reduce the wall re ections.
